Steps
- Click the wall.
- In the Type row, choose a type from the list.
- The wall takes the thickness of the type, and on the plan each layer is hatched with its own material. The insulation of the ready-made types goes on the outdoor side.
- If the layers ended up on the wrong side, click Flip layers.
- The composition of the type is edited in the same place with the Edit layers button: the name, material and thickness of each layer, Add layer, the trash can next to a layer. The thickest layer is considered the structure.
Good to know
- A ready-made type is copied into the project. All walls of the type have the same thickness and composition: editing the composition changes all of them at once.
- The Thickness and Core fields are greyed out for a wall with a type. To set them manually, choose No type: the thickness and core will stay.
- In the 3D view, a wall with a type has the same color and thickness, and the layers are not visible there.
- Walls without finish in hides plaster and insulation on the plan. Room dimensions are still measured to the finished faces.
