Multi-layer walls

Module(s): Walls, Openings, Components

Walls with multiple construction layers are basically drawn in the same way as single-tier walls; you use the same wall types. Special attention should be paid to wall intersections, however. These are controlled by the priority rating set for each of the construction layers in the wall.

Note: Although you can define up to 20 wall layers, you should not define all finishing layers (such as, plaster, paint and so on) as wall layers, thus slowing down your computer. Instead, use the finishing surfaces in Room and Story as usual. Similarly, use finishing surfaces of rooms for calculating areas and quantities (reports).
