Generating a Wall Framing 3D Model
You can generate the framing of the selected walls in the
framing model FRAMING.vxm. This way, you can view the wall panel
parts in the model. However, you cannot edit the panels, as the
framing model is not connected to the wall panels.
First you need to generate panel drawings of the wall panels.
Save any changes made to the panel drawings and close the
elevations before generating the 3D model of the framing.
- Select Classic Wall Panels >
Generate Framing 3D Model.
- 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.
- The actual wall frame (studs, bottom and top plates) are always
generated to the 3D model. In addition, you can select other panel
parts to be visible in the framing model. Select the desired parts
to be visible or hidden by clicking the buttons on the contextual
toolbar. The buttons that are selected by default are defined in a
setup file.
- Sheets - Interior and exterior
sheathing.
- Nailing - Horizontal or vertical
nailing.
- Insulation
- Siding boards -Cladding Or Staggered Cladding
added to the panel drawing.
- Machining - Requires customization.
- Joints - Hiding joints makes the
generation of the model faster and the model lighter. Wall panel
joints are mainly used in the steel framing systems.
- 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.
- Select Confirm.
- Open the drawing-model pair of the framing structure by using
the function File > Open Drawing-Model Pair or by
pressing F4.
- Activate the model window by pressing the F2 key, for
example.
- If the model geometry is not automatically refreshed in the
window, select Zoom Extents from the tool bar.
You can now change the visibility of the panel parts in the
model in the following way:
- Select again
Classic Wall Panels > Generate
Framing 3D Model.
- Select the visible parts by clicking the buttons on the
contextual toolbar.
- Sheets - Interior and exterior
sheathing.
- Nailing - Horizontal or vertical
nailing.
- Insulation
- Siding boards -Cladding Or Staggered Cladding
added to the panel drawing.
- Machining - Requires customization.
- Select a panel.
- Select Confirm.
Defining Visible Panel Parts in
the Model
The buttons that are selected by default on the contextual
toolbar are defined in the keyword group BDSXX with the keyword
wpnlmodelopt.
The keyword group also defines which panel parts are nailing
pieces and which are siding pieces:
- wpnlnailingtypes - Defines the piece number of the nailing
pieces.
- wpnlsidingtypes - Defines the piece number of the siding
pieces.
To be able to display the panel parts in the model, the
following definition needs to made in the wall panel settings with
the function System Settings > Wall Panels >
