To add an other wall on-grid

To add an other material wall by snapping to grid points, use the following procedure.

You must set up one or more grids in order to use "on-grid" layout features.

You must select the material as Other to layout other material members and walls.

Note: When two walls come together to form a T shape, the wall that forms the "flange" of the T must be modeled as two separate walls. That is, it is necessary to have a node line in the wall where the "stem" of the T frames in. The DataCheck will indicate an error when this condition is modeled incorrectly.

Either

select Layout > Walls > Add On-Grid

or
select the On-Grid tool from the Layout Wall dynamic toolbar.

The Add Other Wall On-Grid Mode dialog opens.
Select the Framing type for the walls to be added:
- Gravity - resists gravity loads only
- Lateral - resists gravity loads and lateral loads in RAM Frame and RAM Concrete Analysis.
Specify the other material values:
1. Type the wall Thickness.
2. Type the modulus of elasticity, E.
3. Type the UW for Self-weight.
4. Type the Poisson's Ratio.

Select the Graphics Mode used to place the wall:

Click…	and then…
Single	Click the plus sign cursor on a SnapTo point intersection defining one end of the wall. Move the cursor to the SnapTo point defining the second end of the wall and click the mouse button to place the wall.
Fence	Fence an area in which walls will be place between existing columns.

To place more walls, do either of the following and repeat steps 2 through 4 as needed:
