At a glance
- Choose a Composite and create a straight, curved or corner detail.
- Override individual skins and add appropriate construction graphics.
- Set the wall-type tags and refresh the saved Composite information when needed.

Composite and drawing geometryChoose the source and capture its current layer information.
Select the Composite by name or use the filter to find it, then choose Update to read its current data. Length, reference, rotation and geometry mode determine the arrangement of the drawing.
The detail retains the captured information and does not need to be associated with a particular model Wall. Changing a model Wall is therefore different from changing the Composite used by this drawing.
Skin overrides and construction detailRefine the drawing without editing the source Composite.
For an individual skin, you can override its thickness, material, fill or lines, omit it from the drawing, or change its end extensions. These are local drawing changes rather than edits to the Composite attribute.
Add stud profiles, brick or block profiles, insulation or membrane graphics to the appropriate layers. Any referenced profiles must remain available in the project.

Tags and updatingKeep the saved source information and local changes in view.
Use the tag position, frame and leader settings to arrange the wall-type identification. After changing the source Composite, refresh the detail and review the result together with its local overrides.
The saved drawing remains visible when the updater is unavailable. It cannot read later Composite changes until the updating tool is available again.
