'Division Parameters' dialog box

Tool(s): Wall design, basic parameters

You can specify the type and scope of wall element design in this dialog box. Enter the dimensions in the unit of length set.

Right-clicking in the input area opens a shortcut menu where you can show and hide the description displayed at the bottom of the palette and the graphics in the middle.
In addition, you can add the currently selected area or parameter to the quick input list. When you click QuickInput on the shortcut menu, only the parameters you have added to the quick input list are displayed. There you can remove the currently selected area or parameter from the quick input list and return to Advanced input by selecting this mode on the shortcut menu.

This section provides detailed information on the parameter currently selected. If there is not enough space to display the entire text, three dots at the end of the text indicate that some text is missing. You cannot scroll the description.

To enlarge the section so that you can read the full text, you can increase the width of the entire palette and/or move the line separating the parameter area from the description up.

Facing element

Create facing element / Overlap / Joint and foundation / Locked width

When this option is selected, face elements are created with the joint between the element and the foundation. The width of the facing elements is calculated automatically from the value entered for the lateral overlap (the value by which the facing elements overlap the columns) or the fixed width is used.

If a value is entered for Locked width, this value is always used. Any value entered for Overlap is ignored.
