Wall toolcommands.Walls are drawn on 2D floor plan, but they have 3D characteristics as they are created. A wall, in ARCHLine.XP® is not a series of lines drawn in floor plan, but represent a 3D object having a width and a height structure. It is a 3D element as it is drawn having a two-dimensional representation in plan.
Surveying
If you started the drawing with the survey of an old building, you will have a surveyed room with walls transformed into real walls. Now you can continue your work with drawing the new part of the building and connecting it to the old building, of course, depending on the actual task.
New building
You can start drawing - without any preparation - with the creation and modification of walls, and the drawing of the floor plan.
You will use in both cases the Wall toolcommands.
Walls are made up of one or more vertical layers (single or sandwich walls). Walls are independent and separate elements that are not linked to rooms, and they can be straight or curved.
In this chapter we will discuss the setting of wall properties, the creation of walls, wall editing and wall modification.
