Step-by-step guide

Recognize the role of wall layer functions that determine priority during wall cleanup.

  1. In Properties, click Edit Type.
  2. In the Type Parameters group box, next to the Structure parameter, click Edit.

In the Type Properties dialog box, Type Parameters group box, the Edit button selected.

In the Edit Assembly dialog box, note that some of the functions have bracketed numbers. These are essentially priority cleanup numbers.

In the Edit Assembly dialog box, in the Layers group box, the Function column highlighted in red.

  1. Expand the Functions drop-down to view a list of functions in priority order.

In the Edit Assembly dialog box, Layers group box, the Function drop-down expanded.

When 2 walls are joined together, if 2 layers that coincide are the same number and share the same material, then they will blend into one another.

However, if a layer with a higher priority number crosses over a layer with a lower priority, then it will cut through those layers and clean up appropriately. In this case, there will be a dividing line to clearly differentiate between the two.
