Importing a Wall Type from Library

[buzzsaw204]

Hi, 

 

i thought i have done this step/task many time before of importing a Wall Type from the Library.

 

I thought you could always just drag and drop the Wall Type it into your plan? 

 

That doesn't seem to work anymore, or am I forgetting some other step it another way to do it??

You never drag items from the library. I'm pretty sure you just select it in the library and Draw a wall out as you normally would.

it would have to exist in the Plan for you to use it. 

 

if it's not....then you would need to Create/make a new OR import it, so that you have it, to able to use it.

Not if it's in the Library Browser, that's the whole point of saving Line Styles and Walls and Moldings, etc etc, is that they don't need to exist in the plan. you just Select that Library object and then click and drag on the plan to create that object. Once you do that, that Wall Type exists as part of that plan.

 

I just tested it, made a Siding-6 with two layers of siding, add to Library, open New Plan, grabbed it in my library and drew out a wall using that new definition.

There's no Import process, you just use it.
