Wall Panel Properties
Use the Wall Panel properties to view or modify the properties of a wall panel.
The 
Wall Panel command is used to create a wall panel. Once created, the panel properties can
then be viewed or modified in the Properties Window:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| General | |
| Plane | Describes the plane in which the panel was placed. |
| Rotation angle | Describes the panel span direction as an angle, 0° is horizontal and 90° is vertical.
See: Rotation angle for slab items and panels and Modify slab/panel span direction |
| Is a parapet wall |
Check to indicate the panel is to be treated as a parapet in the wind analysis. |
| Ignore local moments from lareral loading |
This option is omly available when the “Is a parapet wall” setting is selected. When checked, only a lateral point load is applied to the top of a supporting column. |
| Gap | Where the funneling gap to the adjacent building is not consistent due to the shapes of the buildings it is up to you to decide whether to specify the average or worst-case gap. The default gap is 1000 m which effectively give no funneling. A zero gap value explicitly means ignore funneling, for example where this building and the adjacent one are sheltered by upwind buildings. |
| Solidity | If you indicate that the wall panel is a parapet, then you also need to indicate the Solidity of the parapet. (Walls that are not parapets automatically adopt a solidarity of 1.0). |
| Status | Indicates whether the panel is valid or not. |
| Decompose to |
Loads can be set to be decomposed to:
Note: The decompose
to nodes option only applies to those loads generated by the
wind wizard. It does not apply to those loads applied directly
to panels.

individual members and panels.
