These composite types are named according to their fire safety ratings; hence, the 1hr and 2hr designations.

Creating new composites

Most of the walls that we need do not need to be fire rated so we will make copies of the preceding composites and create a couple of nonrated composite types, as follows:

  1. Open the Composite Structures Attribute Management window Options | Element Attributes | Composites….
