If you wish to edit an existing wall library, select the library and group from the list in the top left corner of the dialog box. You can search for a library by activating the list box and pressing Ctrl+F. Enter the character string to be searched for in the text box.

Wall
If you wish to edit the layers and parameters of an existing wall, select the thumbnail image of the wall in the bottom left corner of the dialog box. You can search for a wall by activating the list box and pressing Ctrl+F. Enter the character string to be searched for in the text box.
The layers of the selected wall, and their parameters, are displayed in the center of the dialog box.
You can only edit customer-specific wall
libraries in the custom/complibs/walls folder. If the wall belongs
to the system wall library, the following text is displayed at the
bottom of the dialog box: "Please notice that this is a system wall
library and cannot be edited."
If you have created a new wall library, add the first wall to the library by copying a wall from an existing library. You can copy a wall from any library, including the system wall library. You can then add, copy or move other walls to the wall library.

Wall Parameters
Wall parameters are available for selection when you have made a wall thumbnail image active by clicking, and no layer is selected in the Layers list or the preview image. If necessary, deselect a layer by clicking an empty space in the Layers list.
Layers
Select a type, material, thickness, and bottom and top height for each layer of the wall. You can add and delete layers, move a layer depthwise to the wall, or divide a layer into two parts in the vertical direction.
Type - Select the type from the list.
Material - Select the material from a list. The list will only contain the alternatives that are possible for the chosen type. The alternatives are defined in the structural layer library of the walls.
Thickness - The value is updated automatically according to the selected material. If necessary, you can also enter the desired value in the field.
Bottom height and Top height - Set the default values for the bottom and top heights. If a user ticks the Use project default heights checkbox when adding a wall, the top and bottom heights of the siding and framing layers are loaded from the project parameters. The heights of the other layers will be updated so that they retain their relative positions to the framing layer.
A wall must always have a frame layer.

You can select the wall plan or model to be displayed in the preview window. The model is either coarse or accurate, depending on which presentation method you used last when adding a wall. You can select different materials for both coarse and accurate models of the wall layers. You can change the presentation method of the model in the preview window as follows:
Select Model for the preview window.
Open the context-sensitive menu in the list.
Select Accurate or Coarse.
If the model disappears from the preview window,
click the button at the top of the window: 
. It
will zoom to the extents of the model so that all geometry is
within the limits.
Select framing, Framing
These features are available when using the non-layered panelizing method. If a Framing tool has been selected for even one layer of the wall, the features are disabled. See Select a Framing Tool.
If you have several different framing libraries available (for example large panels, precut, steel), select the framing library and framing to be used in wall panel design by clicking the Select Framing button.
Select the framing parameters used in the wall panel design by clicking the Framing button.
