Walls

Draw internal and external walls in plan view.

This function allows you to draw walls in plan view. Both external (double skinned walls with a cavity) and internal (single skinned walls, no cavity) can be drawn.

Settings for this function are made on the Wall page.

Procedure

The Wall settings window displays.

1. Select the type of wall  you want to draw and click OK.

2. There are two methods of drawing walls:

• • Drawing fresh lines where no track or perimeter lines exist.

  • Tracking an existing line or perimeter.

Draw Fresh

Select this drawing method if you want to want the reference line to be included in the wall lines.

1. You are prompted to:

Indicate starting position of wall (else spacebar to exit)

2. Click on the start of the wall.

3. You are prompted to:

Indicate next position of wall, when done, right click for options

4. Indicate the next corner in the wall. Use the arrow keys or the snap modes to work accurately.

5. You are prompted to:

Indicate next position of wall, when done, right click for options

6. Indicate additional corner points. Right-click and select the Close option to close the wall polygon; or the Finish option when you are done.

If you don't stick to the drawing direction you have specified in the Wall Settings, the wall is drawn on the incorrect side.

Track Perimeter

If you are tracking an existing closed perimeter, you are prompted to:

Indicate internal position of wall (else spacebar to exit)
