Hi, I would like to give different edge connection at the edges of a wall. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/femdesign_api/original/1X/5c7c1346feab6f791fa64f02afcbaf5e36b565a0.png) It seems like that the component does not allow to differentiate between the different edges. Am I right? If I am, could the feature be implemented? ---

Hi @TommasoVidali Does it help? 👇🏼 > **[Shells | FEM-Design API](https://femdesign-api-docs.onstrusoft.com/docs/grasshopper/basics/shells#edge-connection)** > > The following section will show you how to set up Shell elements with properties such as: Material, Section, Eccentricity, Connectivity. ---

It does. thanks Marco. Is there any way to also set the Behaviour in the EdgeConnection component. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/femdesign_api/original/1X/d87e2c60dd08bad83f33986e16c9f8c7c9e4c344.png) ---

Unfortunately, it is possible to only set “Friction” with some custom code. Is “Detach” an important feature? ---

While analyzing the stabilizing walls in any type of project the “detach” function needs to be used to allow the bottom edge connection to behave properly. So it is important for this specific analysis. I never used it in any other analysis I made with FEM Design. 🙂 ---

@TommasoVidali You will be able to set detach/friction from now 23.1.0 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/femdesign_api/original/1X/49532e5909c75370c1ea48d8418a52c7f6c40153.png) **NOTE:** Detach X\_Compression will override x\_neg that you have set in Motions.Construct Therefore, it is equivalent in using DetachType == None and setting x\_neg == 0 ---

Great job! Thanks 🙂
