Draw Wall

To draw a wall:

  1. From the Power Tools ribbon, click the Walls drop down arrow to view available tools.

  2. Click the Draw Wall.

    • In the diagram, click the start point, and then click each corner of the structure. If snaps are on, click the start point to close the structure. If snaps are off, or if you do not close the structure, double-click to add the wall.

    When drawing walls at right angles, notice the perpendicular snap command that displays when the wall is drawn 90 degrees to the previous wall. Turn on Ortho-Lock to draw perfect right angles.

  3. Use the grips to make adjustments, or configure the object in the tools panel.
