A Wall Panel may be assigned any integer value greater than or equal to zero, called the Priority. By default the Priority value for all Wall Panels is zero. The Priority value is used to determine how vertical reinforcement is placed at locations where two or more Wall Panels intersect in plan. Wall Panels with a higher Priority will have the vertical reinforcement placed such that the bars are run all the way to the edge of the wall. The adjacent Wall Panel with the lower Priority will have the vertical reinforcement stop at the face of the Wall Panel with the higher Priority.

This feature is useful for "L", "C", or "I" shaped wall cores where the engineer may prefer to run either the flange or the web steel the entire extent of the wall. In particular, in situations where the corners of the wall are heavily reinforced compared to the midspan zones of the wall, the Priority allows control over the reinforcement placement at the wall corners or boundary regions.

Changing the Priority of a Wall Panel will clear any Bar Patterns in the Wall Panel Group that are not frozen. The reinforcing for these Wall Panels will then be reoptimized the next time the design is run for the Wall Design Group. Changing the Priority of a frozen Wall Panel will not clear the assigned Bar Pattern or Manual Reinforcement. The bars will be placed again according to the new Priority assignment(s) once the design is run again for the Wall Design Group, but the assigned Bar Pattern or manual reinforcement zones will remain.
