Standard Walls

Standard Walls for Exterior Footprint

The materials from this Standard Wall will be used when the first walls in the program are created. These walls are placed around the perimeter of the building outline made in the Block Outline action. Thereafter, the standard wall to be used to create new walls will be the one that has most recently been selected in the Wall and Shear Line Input Form.

Upper and Lower Level

There are different default Standard Walls for the uppermost level than for the rest of the levels. This is because anchorages rather than hold-downs are likely to be placed on the top floor only.

Reset Original Standard Wall

If you click this button, the standard walls that came with your installation of WoodWorks Shearwalls will be restored. Be very careful using this button, as any other standard walls you have created and saved will become unavailable able to projects you create.
