Add All Panels

Framer

By using the function Add a Panel in a Floor or Roof, you can generate panels in the selected floor or roof structure.

With this function, you can select several floor or roof structures at once and generate panels for them.

The floor or roof structures can have different properties. Their layers, materials and framing tools have been selected when the structure was added. If the selected structure has no panel breaks, one panel is generated in the structure. If the structure has panel breaks, the panels are formed according to the break lines. The layers included in the panel are determined by the system settings, see Panel Layers.

  1. Select the floor or roof structure. Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple structures, or press Ctrl+A to select all floor or roof structures.
  2. Do either of the following:
    • Select Plane Structure | Panel | Generate Panels > Generate All Panels.
    • Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select Generate All Panels.
  3. Select numbering, part numbering, etc., in the dialog box.

  4. Confirm by clicking OK.

The panels are created. If you selected Generate framing (default) in the panel properties, the program adds parts to all the frame layers included in the panel. If you selected Generate sheathing in the panel properties, the program adds sheets to all the sheathing layers included in the panels.

Note:
  • You can use the framing functions to edit the frame of the panel. For example, you can change the direction and spacing of the framing by using the function Edit Framing Fields. After editing, update the framing by regenerating the parts.
