Wall layer: constant thickness and extends the height of the wall
A region is any shape in the wall that does not meet the criteria of a layer. Regions can have either constant
or variable thickness. In a row assigned to a region, if region has a constant thickness, a numeric value
appears for it. If the region has a variable thickness, the value is variable. You cannot change a region's
thickness in the row that is assigned to it. Note that the thickness value appears shaded, indicating that it
is unavailable for modification. You can only change its thickness and height graphically in the preview
pane.
Regions: neither region extends the full height of the wall
Because core thickness can vary in vertically compound walls, the core centerline and core face location
lines are determined by the core thickness at the bottom of the wall. For example, if the wall core is thicker
at the top than at the bottom, and you specify the location line as Core Centerline, the centerline of the
core is measured between the core boundaries at the bottom.
You can add wall sweeps or reveals to vertically compound walls. See Wall Sweeps on page 593 and Wall
Reveals on page 599.
You can use various commands to modify the structure of vertically compound walls.
Accessing Vertically Compound Wall Commands
1 In the drawing area, select the wall and click .
2 In the Element Properties dialog, click Edit/New.
3 In the Type Properties dialog, click Preview to open the preview pane.
All changes you make to the wall occur in the preview pane.
4 Below the preview pane, select Section: Modify type attributes for View.
