About Wall Justification Lines and Cleanup Circles

Wall justification lines and cleanup circles are features of wall objects that are used to determine the cleanup conditions. Cleanup circles display for walls only in the Diagnostic display representation, or when you turn on the display of wall justification lines.

Displaying Wall Justification Lines and Cleanup Circles

The Diagnostic display representation displays the wall segment’s justification line, cleanup circle radius, and direction glyph to help you troubleshoot wall cleanup issues. On the status bar, click Click to change display configuration Diagnostic.

A cleanup circle is located at the start point and the endpoint of each wall segment. The center point of each cleanup circle is the start point or endpoint of the wall justification line.

The cleanup circle radius determines the size of the cleanup circle. You can specify a cleanup circle radius in the wall tools you use to add walls to a drawing. If needed, you can override the default cleanup circle radius at each end of a wall segment. This allows you to adjust the cleanup circle radius for particular wall styles and for individual situations.

You can also turn on the display of justification lines without switching to the Diagnostic display representation. Select a wall segment and click Wall panel Cleanup tab Justification Display.

Justification lines and cleanup circles display on all walls in the drawing. In addition, when you select a wall, Cleanup Radius grips are displayed at each cleanup circle. Move the grip to increase or decrease the cleanup circle radius.

Note: Zero-radius cleanup circles do not display.

Wall Cleanup Conditions

Walls in the same cleanup group clean up when one of the following conditions applies:

Tip: The best practice for successful wall intersection cleanup is to ensure that the wall segment justification lines intersect and that you specify a zero (0) radius for the wall segment cleanup circles.

When walls intersect and clean up properly, a new wall joint is created at the intersection of the wall justification lines. The exact location of the wall joint depends on the location of the new wall segment endpoint. In many cases, the wall joint location does not coincide with the existing wall segment center line. The location of the wall joint is based on a weighted average distance between wall segment endpoints, as well as the thickness of the wall segments.
