Before you start
The component is created through 3 points.
- Point 1
- Point 2 determines the length of the wall.
- Point 3 in the Z direction. This determines the height of the wall.
In the case of a floor, point 3 is positioned in the Y direction. So that the floor lies on the XY plane.
Picture tab
On the "Picture" tab, the type of opening (no opening, window, door), plate distribution and option to mirror entire wall are defined.
Image
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Offset of the upper top beam or lower bottom beam in relation to the inner plating. This will move outwards but retain the dimension set on the Parts tab. |
| 2 | Offset of the outer studs in relation to the inner plating. This will be offset to the outside but retain the dimension set on the Parts tab. |
| 3 | Define which profile (number) is used on the outside (left) side of the wall. The number corresponds to the profile number on the Parts tab. The profile can also be 180° in the case of C- and/or U-profiles. |
| 4 | Define the number of additional posts on the inside of the wall. These are positioned along the outer studs. |
| 5 | Define which profile (number) will be used. |
| 6 | Define whether there should be an opening in the wall. Options:
A maximum of 6 openings can be set per wall. |
| 7 | Define which profile (number) is used on the outside (left) side of the wall. The number corresponds to the profile number on the Parts tab. The profile can also be 180° in the case of C- and/or U-profiles. |
| 8 | Define the number of additional beams on the inside of the wall. These are positioned under the top beam. |
| 9 | Define which profile (number) will be used. |
| 10 | Define which profile (number) is used on the outside (left) side of the wall. The number corresponds to the profile number on the Parts tab. The profile can also be 180° in the case of C- and/or U-profiles. |
| 11 | Define the number of additional studs on the inside of the wall. These are positioned along the outer studs. |
| 12 | Define which profile (number) will be used. |
| 13 | Define the number of additional beams on the inside of the wall. These are positioned above the bottom beam. |
| 14 | Define which profile (number) will be used. |
| 15 | Define which profile (number) is used on the outside (left) side of the wall. The number corresponds to the profile number on the Parts tab. The profile can also be 180° in the case of C- and/or U-profiles. |
| 16 | Define the distances between openings:
|
| Assembly position | Define the prefix and start number of the wall. |
| Position in depth | Position of the wall relative to the position points. Options:
If necessary, specify an offset relative to the position points. |
| Mirroring | Indicate whether the wall is to be mirrored. Options:
|
| Plate divide | The Plate divide can be set in 2 ways:
|
| Split at middle of bay | Never: The top or bottom beam will always be divided at the maximum length. |
| Always: The top or bottom beam will always be divided at the maximum length. | |
| Only when split is at stanchion: The top or bottom beam will be divided at the maximum length, unless the division ends below a style. Then the division will be moved to the middle between 2 studs. | |
| Angle topbeam | Define the slope angle of the top beam and any additional beams for the purpose of drainage. Example: Image
|
| Max length top bottom chord | In case the frame is longer than the defined maximum length of the top/bottom beam, these profiles can be split. By default, the lines are not split. |
| Mirror split | For constructional reasons, it is often not permitted to have the division of the top and bottom beam positioned exactly one above the other. In such situations, the split for the top/bottom beam can be mirrored. |
| Generate extra beam at split | Create an extra beam between 2 studs at the location of a split. Image
In the case of a sloping beam, there is the option of making the split perpendicular to the lower beam or in the Z direction of the global axis system. |

If this point is not chosen in the local XY plane of the wall, the wall will be at an angle to the ground plane. If an angle is entered under a and the alternative height and length are defined on the Panel shape tab, the element will be at an angle to the plane defined by three points. |

| Define the effective height (measured parallel). | |
Image
| Define the effective height (vertical) In the case of a rectangular section, the angle “a” is calculated automatically. If desired, an alternative angle can be set. In the case of a non-rectangular cross-section, this angle cannot be calculated and is a mandatory value field. | |
| Maximum length | Maximum length of the cladding. | |
| First part length a | First part length a used in case the horizontal layout is set to alternating. | |
| Min top height | Define what the minimum distance should be from the top plank of the cladding. | |
| Min extra beam thickness | Define the minimum thickness that the extra beam must have. | |
| 4 | Offset of the cladding in relation to the top and bottom at the location of an opening. | |
| 5 | Offset of the cladding in relation to the top of the frame. | |
| 6 | Offset of the cladding in relation to the top at the location of an opening (door). | |
| 7 | Finishing top cladding. | |
Image
| Create a full profile on the top. The cladding will overlap with the frame at the top. | |
Image
| The top profile will be cut to match the height of the frame. If the height to be created is smaller than defined at Minimum top height, no profile will be created. | |
Image
| Create an extra beam to fill the space behind the top cladding. The thickness is rounded to whole millimeters. A minimum thickness for this part is defined at Min top height. No profile will be created if the calculated thickness is less than this value. | |
| 8 | Measure the offset distance exact vertical or aligned with the top beam of the timber frame | |
| 9 | Offset distance of the cladding profiles compared to the left side of the timber element. This value field is connected to 12: Offset distance of the cladding profiles compared to the right side. If only one of these 2 values is set, the defined value will be the same for both. | |
| 10 | Offset distance of the cladding profiles compared to the intermittent stud in case of a seam. Distance is measured to the outside plane of the stud. | |
| 11 | Offset distance of the cladding profiles compared to the studs located around openings. | |
| 12 | Offset distance of the cladding profiles compared to the right side of the timber element. This value field is connected to 9: Offset distance of the cladding profiles compared to the right side. If only one of these 2 values is set, the defined value will be the same for both. | |
| 13 | Distance of the first cladding profile compared to the bottom of the timber frame. | |
