Walls - Definition

Open the Wall dialog using either of the following methods:

• Click Geometry menu > Walls.
• Click .

Use this option to define walls in a structure by specifying the following:

• Coordinates of the start and end points of the wall base line
• Wall height
• Orientation along the assumed vertical axis Z ( up, down).

You define a wall by specifying:

• Wall number
• Wall properties:
  • Thickness; Adjust to background - when selected, while a wall is being drawn, its thickness adjusts automatically to lines of the wall contour
  • Material (this field is not available for editing; it displays the material defined for a selected wall thickness type)
• Wall geometry:
  • Beginning and end of a wall
  • Wall height
  • Orientation (up or down with respect to the position of the beginning node).

In addition, the default material is displayed for the selected wall thickness type.

Note: You can define a new panel thickness types by clicking next to the Thickness field.

When Drag is selected, the end of the wall being defined is also the beginning of the next wall.
