Set the Default Framing Tool for a Layer

You can set a default framing tool for a layer in the layer library.

Edit the Wall Layer Library

Edit the Floor and Roof Layer Library

When you change the layer material, the default tool set in the layer library is also changed to the framing tool of the layer.

The framing tool is changed automatically when the layer material changes:
  • If the current layer does not have a framing tool, and a new material is selected for the layer.
  • If the layer is of a different type than the original, and a default tool has been set for the layer in the layer library.

If you change the layer to a layer of the same type but different material, and you have set a framing tool for the layer, you will be prompted:

- Load framing tool from library (current tool will be overwritten)?

It is possible that you have changed the parameters of the framing tool and want to keep the changes when the layer material is changed. You can choose to load the default tool set in the layer library or keep the existing one.

The framing tool is not changed if the framing tool of the layer is empty in the layer library.

The framing tool is cleared if the tool set for the layer cannot be found in the framing tool library.
