15.5.2.11. Transforming into a wall

After asking for the confirmation of the transformation the program transforms each surveyed room into individual walls.

 

This command is especially important in cases where you would like to continue drawing after the completion of the survey, e.g. you want to connect a new part to the surveyed building. Although the walls of the surveyed building have a few general properties, to individual walls you can apply all the wall editing functions. (You can create a layered wall structure, you can specify both longitude and cross-sections of wall profiles, you can place individual doors or windows on the drawing, or create sills and chamfers, etc.)

 

You can set the status of the walls of the surveyed building that have been transformed into real walls in the Wall properties dialog box:

  • Existing wall
  • Wall to be demolish

 

When you renew or expand a building, this option allows you to distinguish between existing walls and walls to be demolished in the plan by applying different colors. Walls to be demolished are not displayed in the 3D view.
