Build Assembly
Used to build wall assemblies, this command adds new wall "layers" to an existing wall in the model to make compound wall assemblies.

Note: The following notes apply to wall assemblies when they are modified:
- When the core component in a wall assembly is modified, the finish components update automatically.
- By turning Graphic Group off, wall finish can be moved independently from the rest of the wall to create wall cavities. Gaps between the core wall and the finish components can be maintained as appropriate.
- Wall cavities, gaps, and finishes are maintained when wall assembly core thicknesses are modified.

| Match Form Height | The height of the added wall matches the height of the existing wall, when on. |
| Height field | Sets the height of the wall. This option is disabled when the Match Form Height or By Part settings are on. |
| Thickness field | Sets the thickness of the wall. This option is disabled when the By Part setting is on. |
| By Part (height) | Sets the height of the wall to match the height of the active part definition, when on. |
| By Part (thickness) | Sets the thickness of the wall to match the thickness of the active part definition, when on. |
