Although you can
manually add profiles
to walls in your project
on a case-by-case
basis, we think you'll
find that adding them
to the wall definition
makes creating and
updating wall types
easy and quick.

Stacked Walls
Stacked walls consist of basic wall types but are combined vertically in a single
defined type. Any basic walls can be used to create a stacked wall.
To find the stacked wall types, follow these steps:
1. Start the Wall tool, access the Type Selector, and scroll to the bottom
of the list.
2. Select the wall type Exterior - Brick Over CMU w Metal Stud.
3. Click the Edit Type button, and then click Structure Edit.
As shown in Figure 2.4, this wall type is defined by two different basic walls,
but you can add more if necessary.
One of the stacked wall segments must be of variable height to accommodate
the vertical constraints of the wall instances you place in a project. If all the seg-
ments were a fixed height, it would conflict with varying datum geometry in your
project. In addition to specifying the height of the segments, you can also adjust
the horizontal offset or set a segment to flip its orientation (inside or outside).
