Assign Wall Panel Clear Cover

By default, the Clear cover considered for Wall Panels is the specified in the Design Criteria dialog which assigns the clear cover to wall panels according to the exposure (Interior or Exterior) defined in RAM Modeler. The Assign Wall Panel Clear Cover dialog allows the engineer to assign clear covers to Wall Panels for each wall face (Primary or Secondary). This dialog is only available for ACI codes.

Setting	Description
Global Criteria	This option allows you to verify or set back the clear cover of wall panels to the clear cover specified in the Design Criteria Dialog.
Use	This option allows you to define the clear cover at the Primary or Secondary Face of the selected wall panels. When the Code option is checked, the program will assign the minimum clear cover specified by the current Design Code. The Use option allows you to assign a custom clear cover.
Single	Assign the defined clear cover to one wall panel at a time by clicking on walls in the selected wall design group.
Fence	Assign the defined clear cover to wall panels in the selected wall design group by using fence operations to select walls.
All	Assign the defined clear cover to all wall panels in the model.

Note: For single and fence above, the selected wall design group will be highlighted in yellow, and wall panels that selected will be highlighted in orange. When a wall is selected that is part of a wall panel that contains more than one wall, all walls in the panel will highlight.
