Adding Framing Data to a Macro

Framer

A macro, such as a toilet seat, may require additional blocking to the wall framing. You can attach information about such a blocking to a macro. The blocking pieces will be displayed in the wall panel drawing that you will later create.

  1. Do either of the following:
    • Select a building component, right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select Define Framing Data when using model-based wall panels.
    • Select Classic Wall Framing | Wall Panelizing | Special Framing Define Framing Data when using wall panels based on a panel drawing.
  2. Select the blocking detail from a list. Following details are included in the basic software delivery:
    • WD-HORBACK - The horizontal blocking is positioned on the center of the frame.
    • WD-HORBACK-INT - The horizontal blocking is positioned on the surface at the same side with the macro.
  3. Select the properties of the blocking in the Extra Blockings w/Macros to Wall Panels dialog box.
