Show Framing Components on the Floor Plan Drawing

After you have created the panel drawings, you can add framing components and labels to the floor plan drawing. The components and labels to be drawn depend on your software customization. The components may include the bottom plate, top plate, stud, horizontal support, beam or king stud of an opening, for example. The program will add the selected components and labels to their own layer in the floor plan drawing.

1. Select Classic Wall Panels > Panel Layout > Display Panel Parts in Floor Plan.
2. Select the components and labels to be shown in the dialog box.
   • The outline of a component will be drawn in the floor plan drawing if you select the Component check box.
   • The label of a component will be drawn in the floor plan drawing if you select the Label check box.
3. Confirm by clicking OK. In the basic software delivery, markings are added to the following layers:

   	Piece	Label
   Bottom plate	177	173
   Top plate	178	173
   Stud		173
   Horizontal support		173
   Beam	178	173
   Opening side		173

4. You can display the layer by using the functions in the Layers menu.

Note

• You can delete the markings from a floor plan drawing by clearing the check boxes in the dialog box.
• The drawing properties of components and labels (layer, color, font, text height etc.) are defined in the system settings.
• The type of beams to be drawn is defined in the BDSXX keyword group using the keyword wpnl_beam_show and the type of king studs with the keyword wpnl_opstud_show. Separate the types from each other with a vertical line, for example wpnl_opstud_show= 5|6|7.

The keywords can have the following values:
  • 0 - Neither check box Component or Label is selected as the default in the dialog box.
  • 1 - Check box Component is selected as the default in the dialog box.
  • 2 - Check box Label is selected as the default in the dialog box.
