502 | ChaPTER 12 Creating Walls and Curtain Walls

◆ Subwalls can host sweeps; stacked walls cannot.
◆ Subwalls cannot be in different phases, worksets, or design options from those of the
stacked wall.

◆ To place inserts such as doors and windows in a stacked wall, you may need to use the Pick
Primary Host tool to switch between subwalls composing the stacked wall. For example,
the door shown in Figure 12.32 is outside the upper wall because the main host of the door
is the bottom subwall.

Figure 12.32
inserts may not
host correctly in
vertically stacked
walls.

To place the door properly, select it and then choose Pick Primary Host from the Modify
| Doors tab in the Host panel. Place your mouse pointer over the wall and select the upper
subwall (you may need to press the Tab key to select the correct component). The door will then
be properly hosted in the upper wall, as shown in Figure 12.33.

Figure 12.33
use the Pick
Primary host
tool to adjust
inserts in stacked
walls.
