Templates are an option for creating new models in the spWall program. It enables the user to select from a set of pre-defined templates and edit them for quick model generation.
To begin, go to the Start Screen under Projects and select the Templates option. This will take you to the TEMPLATE selection Dialog Box.
Here you can select the desired template along with the DESIGN CODE and UNIT SYSTEM. Clicking on a template image will open the Template Module and load the selected Template.
Once you are done editing the template to reflect your project criteria, you can click the Save & Exit button to take it to spWall for further modification or execution.
The Template Ribbon provides the following options:
New Pattern

Save & Exit
