Creating Grid Inside Selected Walls

1- Model the wall plans in your project, taking doors and windows into account.

2- Select the wall elements in which you want to create a grid and click "Change selected wall properties" from the right-click menu. If the element type is not set to timber shear wall, select the timber shear wall option.

5- Make adjustments in the wall elements form that appears. A DNM (Node Point Distance) value of 0 means studs are drawn flush to the left; for a 20 cm wide timber stud, a value of -10 cm means the stud is drawn centered within the wall. Enter the stud width in the b field.
