Part Protection

When you add parts to a structure, the parts are added to all the layers of the structure for which a framing tool has been defined and the parts of which are not protected.

You can set part protection for a layer as follows:

1. Activate the model window.
2. Select the structure – a wall panel, for example.
3. Select the structural layer – a wall panel layer, for example.
4. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
5. Select Set Part Protection.

When you add parts to a structure using the function Generate Parts, you will see a message regarding any protected layers in the structure. Select one of the following:

• Continue - Parts are not added to the protected layer. Parts previously added to the layer remain the same
• Remove Part Protection - The layer protection is removed and the parts are added.
• Cancel - Cancel the function.

You can remove a layer's protection by selecting Remove Part Protection in the context-sensitive menu.

Note

• An exception to this is the sheathing layer of a wall panel, which is affected by the parameters of the frame's framing tool.
• The protection of layer parts does not prevent the removal of parts using the function Remove Parts.
