Standard wall preferences are set from the Wall Preferences dialog box (see Drawing walls). The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.

Curtain walls have different preferences; to design a curtain wall, see Curtain wall preferences.

If these wall preferences should be saved as a wall style, click Save Preferences as Wall Style. See Creating wall styles.

A saved or selected wall style is saved as a resource in the file, and displays in the Resource Manager and in the Wall Style list on the Tool bar.
