WOOD FRAMING WALL+
SHEATHING and PANELING LAYOUTS
Sheathing and Paneling Layouts
Wood Framing Wall+ automates sheathing
and paneling layout creation. Sheathing or
paneling layouts can be easily generated and
split by existing studs, joists or other
predefined rules.
Sheathing or paneling is created using Revit Parts.
In order to see the sheathing or paneling you have to select Show Parts or Show Both in View Properties → Parts Visibility
In the Element Properties you can find all information about every created sheathing/paneling segment. This information can later be used in tags and schedules.
Sheathing and Paneling Layouts
Sheathing Configuration
Sheathing Configuration
Sheathing Configuration – allows user to
configure and save settings for sheathing
layouts.
These settings can be saved and linked with wall layer using Wall Link.
Sheathing Configuration
Sheathing Dimensions – predefine vertical and horizontal
sheathing sizes (Width and Length).
Sheathing Configuration
Sheathing Layout – predefine settings for
Inner and Outer sheathing layers.
There can be created up to two sheathing
layers from each side. That’s why there are
separate settings for the first and second layer.
Sheathing Configuration
First and Second sheathing layers can be
predefined in the Wall Link using
Sheathing and Sheathing II from Framing
Layer column.
Sheathing Configuration
Parallel or Perpendicular to Stud/Joist – select if the sheathing should be parallel or
perpendicular to the joist:
Parallel is ticked Perpendicular is ticked
Sheathing Configuration
Bottom/Base and Top/End Extension – add an offset from the wall base or end.
From Start From End
Sheathing Configuration
Placement Direction – predefine sheathing direction: From Start, From End or From Both Sides.
Sheathing Configuration
Second Row Overlap Distance – overlap distance between sheathing layouts if Perpendicular to
Stud/Joist checkbox is ticked.
Sheathing Configuration
Align with Studs/Joists – aligns sheathing with Studs or Joists.
Sheathing Configuration
Allow to Split on Second King/Joist – splits the sheathing on the second king or joist of the
opening.
Sheathing Configuration
Always try to Split on Opening Side – splits the
sheathing on the opening side if top and bottom
trimmers are predefined in the Opening Framing.
Sheathing Configuration
You can predefine top and bottom trimmers under Wall+ → Framing Configuration → Opening
Framing:
Sheathing Configuration
Always Try to Merge Parts – when ticked tries to merge parts if two parts share the same edge. Merged part
size will not exceed the sheathing size which is predefined under Sheathing Dimensions.
Sheathing Configuration
Mark Settings – predefine default values for these
parameters. The parameters can be later used in
schedules and tags.
Sheathing Configuration
Opening – predefine top, bottom,
left and right sheathing offsets from
a window, door or MEP opening.
Sheathing Configuration
L Connection, End Connection, T Connection –
predefine settings for sheathing start and end connections.
Layer Extension – distance from a wall face.
Split Sheathing/Paneling Parts
Split Sheathing/Paneling Parts
Split Sheathing/Paneling Parts – splits
sheathing or paneling into the segments by
predefined Sheathing Configuration or
Paneling Condifuration. You just need to select
a wall or any frame of a wall.
Split Sheathing/Paneling Parts
Sheathing or Paneling will be split if Split
Parts is ticked in Wall Link.
Paneling Configuration
Paneling Configuration
Paneling Configuration – by using this
configuration, you can model insulation and
ventilated facades in your Revit project!
A ventilated facade is designed so that panels – often made of technical
ceramics or porcelain – would cover building’s exterior, leaving a space
for air to flow between the structural wall and the facade. This buffer layer
creates a chimney effect all around the building, giving rise to the
aforementioned benefits.
Paneling Configuration
Using Paneling Configuration you can
predefine insulation and external paneling
setting for your Revit project.
Insulation or panels are created using
Revit Parts.
In order to see the panels or insulation,
you have to select Show Parts or
Show Both in View Properties →
Parts Visibility
Paneling Configuration
These settings can be saved and linked with wall
layer using Wall Link.
Paneling Configuration
Paneling Dimensions – predefine vertical and horizontal
paneling sizes (Width and Length).
Paneling Configuration
Paneling Layout – predefine settings for
creation of the paneling.
Paneling Configuration
Parallel or Perpendicular to Stud/Joist – select if paneling
should be parallel or perpendicular to the studs or joist.
Parallel is ticked Perpendicular is ticked
Paneling Configuration
Bottom/Base and Top/End Extension – add an offset from
the wall base or end.
Paneling Configuration
Division Offset – adds division offset from the wall bottom. Available when Perpendicular to Stud/Joist checkbox is ticked.
Paneling Configuration
Second Row Overlap Distance – overlap distance between
paneling layouts if Perpendicular to Stud/Joist is ticked.
From Start From End
Paneling Configuration
Placement Direction – predefine paneling direction: From
Start, From End or From Both Sides.
Make sure that Complete Sheets in First Row is switched
on.
Paneling Configuration
Add First or Last Split Line – adds the split profile into the
first or last panel.
ticked unticked
Paneling Configuration
Horizontal and Vertical Gap – specifies
the distance between divided horizontal
and vertical parts. The default value is 0,
which results in no gap.
Gap will be not valid if Always Try to
Merge Parts is ticked on.
Paneling Configuration
Horizontal and Vertical Division Profile
– apply the pre-loaded profile you select
from the drop-down list to part edges along
dividers. The default value is None.
Paneling Configuration
Horizontal and Vertical Profile Edge
Mirrored – specify how the profiles on
other side of a divider gap will be oriented.
ticked unticked
Paneling Configuration
Vertical Split On Opening Side – splits
panels along opening sides.
ticked unticked
Paneling Configuration
Vertical Split by Parameter - Split Part – splits
panels vertically by Split Part parameter from stud
or joist.
Paneling Configuration
In order to activate Split Part parameter, you have
to open Type Properties of the stud or joist family
and add Part Split Number. Now Wall+ will know
where to split the panel, for example split the panel
every 4 studs or joists.
Paneling Configuration
There are special families provided together with Wall+, which
can be used for vertically or horizontally panel splitting.
M_WF Part Split Stud-Joist (Metric for vertical splits)
I_WF Part Split Stud-Joist (Imperial for vertical splits)
M_WF Part Split Bridging (Metric for horizontal splits)
I_WF Part Split Bridging (Imperial for horizontal splits)
Paneling Configuration
Result: panels are split by vertical and horizontal studs and bridgings.
For example, if the horizontal bridgings should be short, then please
make sure Perpendicular to Stud/Joist is selected. In such case,
Wall+ will split the segments vertically first and then horizontally.
Paneling Configuration
Complete Sheets in First Row – reverses panel placement direction. If Placement
Direction is set to From Start and Complete Sheets in First Row is unticked, then the
placement direction will be from end.
This option should be used when there are a few insulation layers.
Paneling Configuration
Align with Studs/Joists – aligns panels with Studs or
Joists.
Paneling Configuration
Allow to Split on Second King/Joist – splits the
panels on the second king or joist of the opening.
Paneling Configuration
Always try to Split on Opening Side – splits the panels on the opening
side if top and bottom trimmers are predefined in the Opening Framing.
Paneling Configuration
You can predefine top and bottom trimmers under Wall+ → Framing
Configuration → Opening Framing:
Paneling Configuration
Always Try to Merge Parts – merges two parts if they
have the same edge. Merged part size will not exceed
the panel size, which is predefined under Paneling
Dimensions.
Paneling Configuration
Mark Settings – predefine default values for these parameters.
The parameters can be later used in schedules and tags.
Paneling Configuration
Part Detail Configuration – user can predefine default configuration which will be added to
every part. Detail configuration comes from Smart Details. Smart Details can instantly add any
number of face-specific intelligent details – which adapt to host-element changes – throughout
BIM models. For example, insulation fasteners are automatically added into every insulation:
Paneling Configuration
Opening – predefine top, bottom,
left and right paneling offsets from
the window, door or MEP opening.
