Framing Configuration
Configuration Name – configuration with all framing settings. You can use a sample or create new configurations. Moreover,
you can rename or delete existing configurations.
Wall+M framing configurations are saved in C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Tools 4 Revit\Wall+M2015 Configurations
catalogue. The content from this catalogue can be copied to other users’ computer if needed.

Common Settings
Use for all Framing Elements (except Openings) – if ticked then
selected stud and plate families will be used for other framing
elements, like connections, bridgings, noggings etc. without an
option to change it to the custom family
Main Type of Studs (or Plates) – select a family for the Studs or
Plate. The sample families are:
For C+C system − M_MF C+C Stud and M_MF C+C Plate
For C+C Chamfered system − M_MF C+C_CH Stud and M_MF C+C_CH Plate
For C+U system − M_MF Stud-Joist and M_MF Track
Width (b) – shows the width, b parameter value from selected
family type
Depth (h, d) – shows the depth, h or d parameter value from
selected family type
Define Depth (h, d) by Layer Thickness – the software finds
the frame family type with depth which fits the wall layer
thickness.
Wall Frame Panels – if ticked then wall frames are assembled
in manufactory, if not ticked – assembled in-place

Common Settings – Define Depth (h, d) by Layer Thickness
If you get such message after trying to frame a wall using Fame Wall:
8
It means that Define Depth (h, d) by Layer Thickness setting is
ticked and the software can’t find suitable type in the stud or
plate family.
Metal stud must have a type which parameter “d” Depth must be
equal to core layer depth.
Note: There must be set a good rounding of depth of wall layer.
Imperial profiles have depth 3.625 inch – 3 numbers after
comma.
3/8” = 0,375000
5/8” = 0,625000
7/8” = 0,875000
Sample families do not include all possible types. Link to the blog post: http://www.aga-cad.com/blog/how-to-add-new-framing-type-to-the-project-working-
