Morphs for custom walls

I used the morphs options to create a custom wall of stud framing and plywood so I could edit the wall more in depth. I plan to add more layers to the walls later, but I am trying to figure out if there is a way to save this as a complex profile to be able to add layers easier later on.

No, complex profiles can not contain vertical studs (only horizontal).

 

Usually you would just uses a standard composite wall (or complex profile wall) with an 'air space' or 'stud' skin for the studs.

This will give you the form of the 3D model.

 

If you want the actual framing studs modelled, then you would do these separately with columns and beams.

There is a 'wall accessory' (part of the 'goodies' add-ons) that can help with framing, but you may not get exactly what you want, especially not those angled studs at the ends of the walls.

You could also create the Wall just like Barry said, then use the Curtain Wall tool to model the studs.
