Select a Framing Tool

The framing tool determines the design rules based on which the parts are added to the layer. Select a framing tool for a floor or ceiling layer as follows:

  1. Select the layer.

    Select a Layer

  2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  3. Select Framing Tools.

    Framing Tools Dialog Box

Note:
  • You can set a default framing tool for a layer in the layer library.
  • When editing the floor or ceiling library, you can select a framing tool for each layer, but you cannot edit the tool parameters.
  • You can edit the framing tool parameters of different layers by opening the properties of an existing structure for editing after you have expanded its layers.
  • Once the panel breaks have been generated, changes made to the structure are no longer transferred to the panel. After this, the changes in framing tool need to be made for the panel and its layers.
