Hello Good ABD Community
Here's a Quick question for you guys, that probably has a very long answer (like most ABD related things), but I know that someone must know how to to pull this one off.
So here it goes...
How on earth do you create a Compound Wall on ABD??
Regards
Rafael, there is a wiki about creating Compound Walls in ABD. Have you seen this at all?

Hello Robert,
Thank you for your reply,
Unfortunately the wiki doesn't cover my question, because I need to make a new Compound Wall from scratch, also the wiki is from the previous v8i version.
Rafael,
You can follow the steps in this link:https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/68206/wall-assembly-compound-wall----store-as-catalogue-type-wall/176987#176987
Creating a Compound Wall hasn't really changed at all since V8i. It is the same process in CONNECT Edition.

Thank you Robert,
I was able to do a custom wall, but I still have questions about this procedure.
As you can see, there is 3 Cpart folders at the Family/Part Editor.
Can you help me understand that?
I'm attaching an image.
TFDIR_CPART is the configuration variable which controls where the Compound Part libraries are stored. Normally, they are in the dataset as in the third folder in your example, but also can be stored in the project and company standards. All the folders can be read at the same time and be available for placement, but you should not have duplicate names.
