Look in the help section of the app, it explains everything. To answer ur ? , L port would be 3 common walls. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well the help section says this

"The '# of Common Port Walls' box refers to how many sides of the box are going to act as sides of the port."

which makes sense. but, i dont get how they get 3 for an L port.lol. i would think its 2

wouldn't it be 3 for slotted strait, and 4 for L?

that is what I was thinking. top/bottom/side/back for L port

its 3 and i think its cuz it accounts for the top and bottom being there all the way around your common walls on a L port is the front face side wall and back wall. if that makes sense.

yeah i think thats it. i just never thought of the front wall as a face. its funny if you try to plug 4 into that blank though.lol. i dont see why it couldnt be done tho. it would be like a C port.lol
