Walls - Definition

Open the Wall dialog using either of the following methods:

  • 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.
