Auto Wall

Function for quickly creating the basic construction for timber-frame or wooden stud construction in walls. With one click, the components of the basic construction are generated in one or more walls; these can then be further processed like any other components.

• In the floor plan, walls can be selected as for HRB assignment: all walls, all exterior walls, all interior walls, wall selection. See also the above chapter: setting attributes for wall ends based on the order in the wall selection.

Layer contours:

• The layer contours are generated by applying AutoWall. Previous changes to the layer contours will be discarded.

• The layer penetration is configured so that layer 0 always runs through to layer 0 of the partner wall. Thus, any through-running stiffening sheathing is not taken into account.

• The remaining layers are generated similarly to how they intersect in the original form: layer -2 penetrates layer -2 for both intersecting and intersected. The layers therefore overlap at the corners.

Generation of components:

• A material is specified for all components.

• The cross-section height automatically corresponds to the thickness of layer 0.

• Specify cross-section width:

  • Corner posts

  • Door-window posts

  • Sill - rail

  • Standard width for all other components

• Generated posts:

  • Corner posts (rotated corner post yes/no)

  • End posts for T-joint butt and counter-post in the partner wall

  • Door-window posts

  • Door-window: lintel and sill rail

  • Posts at oblique corners and ends are executed at right angles

• Rail-sill:

  • 1 rail

  • 1 sill

  • Selection yes/no for compensating sill, which then has the same length as the sill

• The input values are taken from the default values if the Dietrich's standard variables are used in the defaults.

Further adjustment of the components is then carried out with the usual DiWand 3D functions, in particular:

• Cross-section change

• Move component

• Adjust lengths

• Add connections
