Edit the Edge Detail of a Cladding

Framer

By default, the installation of siding boards is started from the left edge of the panel (in the viewing direction). By editing the edge detail of a cladding, you can change the edge from which the installation will be started. In addition, you can define the mounting type of the edge boards (manual / loose part). You can edit the edge detail of both horizontal and vertical siding. This requires that the framing tool Cladding has been defined for the siding layer.

Defaults for different corner types can be set in corner details. Customer-specific corner details have been stored in the custom/complibs/structdet_cst folder.
