Sheathing and Paneling Layouts

Wood Framing Wall+ automates the creation of sheathing and paneling layouts. Sheathing or paneling layouts can be generated and split by existing studs, joists, or other predefined rules.

Before you start

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.

Split Parts

Split Parts – splits sheathing or paneling into segments by predefined Sheathing Configuration or Paneling Configuration. You just need to select a wall or any frame of a wall.

Note: In order to see the sheathing, switch on Show Parts or Show Both under Parts Visibility in the View Properties.

Sheathing or Paneling will be split if selected wall layer will have the conditions below in Link Wall:

Framing Layer predefined as Sheathing, Sheathing II, or Paneling.

Sheathing/Paneling Configuration name selected. It saves all settings for the sheathing/paneling layouts.

Split Parts is ticked.

Split Parts – select if parts need to be split after using Split Parts function or should be split later. This is very useful if there are many layers in the wall, for example, two sheathing/paneling layers and you want to split only one.
