Currents service walls require the additional step of placing wall ends. There are a variety of end types and complex rules for placing the proper ends. The Finish Service Wall feature, also known as Finished End Assembly Placer (FEAP), knows these rules and assists you by offering only the wall ends that are applicable.
Before doing the example below, place at least one 48" high standard crown service wall frame from the Knoll Currents catalog.
Example - place ends on service walls:
-
Click the Finish Service Wall
icon on the Automation palette toolbar.
-
Click on any service wall frame or component.
Note: If you have not been working in a Library prior to clicking the Finish Service Wall button, the command line may display an error message. Select the Currents Library to resolve this problem.
The Service Wall Finisher dialog box displays. It lists the options for the first end. It also highlights the first service wall end in the drawing. This end will be zoomed into on the drawing and a dotted red bounding square will be placed around it.
The Service Wall Finisher dialog box has a drop down box at the top called Group. This drop down allows you to select the group (or type) of end you want to place. The group selected determines what is listed in the window below, called the Available Assemblies window. In the example below, the window lists all the Generation 1 Equity ends. The window to the right shows a preview of the assembly selected in the Available Assemblies window. -
Click on the Group drop down and select Morrison.
-
Under Available Assemblies, scroll down and click on the ‘48” Standard Crown T-End 1 1/8” Extension to 64” Morrison, Left Finished End’.
Note: The preview window has a blue reference graphic entitled Morrison Panel. This reference graphic is present to give you a visual indication of where the Morrison panel should be placed once this end is inserted into the drawing. The reference graphic is like a UFO and does not show up in take-offs. If you do not want the reference graphic included when you insert this assembly into your drawing you can check the Remove Reference Graphics box at the bottom of the dialog. Since the reference graphics will be helpful when placing the Morrison panels, we will not remove them. -
Click Insert to place the selected end component and move on to the next end component.
Or, click Skip to move on to the next end without making changes, allowing you to apply the end later. -
Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each service wall end.
WARNING: If you make a mistake placing the finished ends assembly, be sure to erase all the parts of the assembly before running Finish Service Wall again. If you fail to do this, since the command places new parts each time it is run, unneeded parts will be placed.
