To Change the Location of a Wall

Use this procedure to relocate a wall by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The wall also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the wall are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the wall by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the wall on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

  1. Double-click the wall you want to change.
  2. In the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand Location.
  3. Select Additional information.
  4. Specify the location of the wall:
    If you want to … Then …
    relocate the wall enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
    locate the wall on the XY plane make the normal of the wall parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
    locate the wall on the YZ plane make the normal of the wall parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z.
    locate the wall on the XZ plane make the normal of the wall parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z.
    change the rotation of the wall enter a new value for Rotation Angle.
  5. Click OK.
