I love the concept of the wall framer - but in practicality - because it does not distinguish between wall types - it is hard to find a use for it.
This could be HUGELY helpful if VW could spit out framing plans that related to wall types. Right now - VW lays down an 2x4 or 2x6 regardless of the wall. Rather it would be great if the wall components could have a frame settings that tell VW if that component should be framed - and what to frame it with (metal stud, wood stud, hat channel, or generic to match thickness of component.
This would also help because there are many times where the finish assemblies are not the same and so the stud centerline is not the same as the centerline of the entire wall assembly. This would allow VW to spit out construction ready framing plans that if trusted and linked to the model - would save a ton of time on site.
