Anchor Reveal

Anchor the Door/Window reveal to either the Wall face or the Wall core (the closest core skin, if there are several core skins). This is relevant if you are using a composite Wall which has a core.

You may wish to anchor openings to the Wall core if

•

you later make changes in the Wall’s composite structure (e.g. thicker insulation). The reveal depth will automatically adjust to maintain the window’s distance relative to the Wall’s core skin.

•

you place openings into several similar composite Walls (that only differ in the finishes, e.g. a brick finish and a plastered wall). The openings will be aligned; you don’t have to adjust Reveal depths in order to keep them aligned.

Note: If you place an opening whose reveal is anchored to the wall core, then change the composite Wall so that it no longer has a core, then the reveal anchor will change to “Wall Face,” and the reveal depth will be automatically recalculated to retain the opening in its original location.
