Generating Panel Drawings

You can create separate drawing files, panel drawings, of selected panels. The panel drawing includes the front projection of the panel, the top projection (section), dimensions and piece lists. The viewing direction of the front projection (inside or outside the wall) is defined in the settings. The program will generate the panel drawings in sequential order. The panel drawings are saved in the project directory with the name PANEL.##.vxp.

1. Do either of the following:
   • Select Classic Wall Panels > Generate Panel Elevations.
   • Select the function in the project's document browser:
     1. Move the cursor on the title Structural drawings / Wall panels.
     2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
     3. Select Generate Panel Elevations.
2. You can limit the number of walls selected by choosing a basic wall type. Select the basic type from the contextual toolbar.
   • Select Exterior Wall - When the function is selected, you can select exterior walls.
   • Select Interior Wall - When the function is selected, you can select interior walls.
   • Select All of Same Type - When the function is selected, you can select all walls of the same type by clicking one wall of the desired type. The walls are of the same type when they have the same parameters. Either of the basic wall types must be selected at the same time.
3. Select the wall or walls. If you selected the function Select All of Same Type, click one wall of the desired type. All the other walls of the same type become selected at once.
4. Select Confirm.
5. Save the project.

Note

• After creating the panel drawings, save the project with the function File > Save. At this point, the stud locations will be saved in the floor plan drawing and all the panel data will be saved in the panel attributes.
• After creating the panel drawing, the position of the studs in the panel will be displayed in the floor plan drawing. You can hide the stud spacing and display it again by using the Hide Stud Spacing and Show Stud Spacing functions.
