"Couldn't add more skin to the composite wall"

[Christiaan]

I'm trying to add a skin to a composite wall and I get this message:

Warning!
Couldn't add more skin to the composite wall

Any idea why?

A composite can have at most 8 skins. If you need more than that, you can use a complex profiled element which has not limits that I know of.

Thanks Karl. Seems a bit arbitrary. Anyone know why there's a limit?

You're welcome. Can only guess, but I imagine they used a fixed data structure to store the data.
