Add a Panel Macro

You can add parametric macros to the project's floor plan drawing, such as extra studs, beam pockets and electrical symbols. The wall panel macros are added on their own layers. They will be displayed on the drawing when the layers are visible.

Add the parametric macros to the floor plan drawing before generating the panel breaks.

1. Do either of the following:
   • Select Wall Panels > Wall Panel Macros when using wall panels based on a template.
   • Select Classic Wall Panels > Wall Panel Macros when using wall panels based on a panel drawing.
2. Select the macro to be added from the list.
3. If necessary, select the macro parameters.

4. Select a wall. The cursor will be locked to be parallel to the wall.
5. If necessary, change the locating point of the macro, or select another auxiliary function. The default locating point of the macro is the center point of the group.
