# Adding Scaffolding to a Boiler/Editing a Boiler Scaffold

Avontus Designer enables you to add a boiler without a Scaffold. However, you may decide later to add Scaffolding. To do this, you simply access the *Boiler Scaffold* dialog and configure then add the Scaffolding. Avontus Designer makes it easy edit the characteristics of existing boiler Scaffolding. To do this, you simply access the *Boiler Scaffold* dialog and reconfigure.

## Adding Scaffolding to a Boiler

Once you add a Boiler structure to the Drawing Page, Avontus Designer automates the creation of Boiler Scaffolding, based on parameters you define.

To create a Boiler without an internal Scaffold:

1. Select the Boiler on the Drawing Page.
2. Click the **Structure** tab and then click **Boiler Scaffold**.

> **Note:** You can also double-click the Boiler object itself.
