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 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 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.

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

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.
