How to save a New Custom Wall Type

[wrcolclough]

I've been working a set of plans for a Net Zero home.  I created a new wall type and saved it.  When I went to start a second Net Zero floorplan my new wall type doesn't show, although it is still there when I go back and open up the first plan.  Is there a way to save it so I don't have to recreate it for every new project?  Cheers, Bob

You need to add it to your template plan. Search Tips or my YouTube channel for details.

There is no need to recreate the wall.
Open the plan where the wall exists. Copy/paste the wall into the new plan.
When the new plan is saved, then opened, the new wall will be there in the drop-down wall list.

You can save it this easy way if you create a template plan, too.
I have saved a lot of wall types this way  ( that I want to have available in the wall drop-down list)   without having to recreate them.

Thanks Eric.  I went a one of your video's and followed the process, but get the message below when I tried to save it.  Is this no an option with "pro", or did I misunderstand a step?

Thanks Jo Ann, very helpful and easy.  I'll keep that in mind as plan B!  ;o )

The directory you are writing to is probably protected -- marked Read Only or similar. Remove that and you should be OK.
