General
Name	The automatically generated name.
User Name	Can be used to override the automatically generated name if required.
Top Level	Specifies the top level for the wall.
Base Level	Specifies the bottom level for the wall.
Wall Type	Shear Only Wall Note: Shear only walls must be rectangular in a vertical plane.
Material Type	Choice of: Concrete Timber General
AutomaticGenerate Support	• Cleared - a support will only be created if the Generate support property is checked. • Checked - a support will only be created if no members/slabs capable of providing support exist under the wall.
Generate support	• Cleared - no support is created under the wall. • Checked - a support is created under the wall. Note: When a support is created, a line support is formed under a meshed wall, a point support under a mid-pier wall, and a series of point supports under a bearing wall. Note: When a support is created, its degrees of freedom are as specified in the ‘Wall support’ area of the wall properties.
Plane	Indicates the grid along which the wall is placed.

Grade	The grades available here are set from the Materials button on the Home ribbon. Note: The grade is only required to specify the correct density to be used in the wall self weight calculation.
Thickness	The thickness of the wall. Note: The thickness is only required for the wall self weight calculation.
Alignment	Alignment of the wall: Front Back Middle User
Alignment offset	When the alignment is set to User it can be adjusted by specifying an exact offset.
