2 Wood Framing Walls Q & A's

I want to cover 2 quick recent questions on the Wood Framing Walls Extension, part of the Subscription Advantage Pack:

How do I specify the wood studs to be 16" O.C.?

By default the studs will be placed around 1'-11" O.C. without any changes.  To specify a 16" O.C. dimension instead navigate to Studs and Blocking > Studs.  Choose a wall name, check Apply to all walls, specify the Length to 16", and under Intermediate Studs specify 0.

 

When launching the extension why does the Wood Materials message occur?

In the Revit default template there is a material called Wood, with a Material Type of Wood.  This material needs to be present in the project before utilizing the extension.  If it has been since purged out, you can create a blank project and use Transfer Project Standards > Materials > and specify New Only if prompted.  Once the Wood material is present the Wood Framing Walls extension will launch normally.
