Connect or Disconnect Framing Pieces

Framer, Floor Framing & Rafters

You can select framing pieces to be detached from or attached to a framing. When a framing is created, it is a whole to which all the framing pieces belong. When the framing is deleted, all the framing pieces are deleted with it. If there are pieces on the framing that you wish to keep, you need to detach them from the framing before deleting it. After recreating the framing, the detached framing pieces can be attached to the framing again.

  1. Activate the drawing-model pair of the frame.
  2. Select a structure and a layer of type FRAMING.

    Select a Structure and a Layer

  3. Do either of the following:
    • Select Plane Structure | Framing | Connect/Disconnect.
    • Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select Connect/Disconnect Parts.

  4. The program will highlight all the framing pieces belonging to the framing in color.

  5. Select the pieces to be detached from (A) and/or attached to (B) the framing.

  6. Select Confirm.
Note: Connecting or disconnecting framing parts affects the project's material report. The pieces belonging to the framing are collected in the material report with different component names from the pieces that have been detached.
