Drawing collinear walls can be useful, for example, if you want to apply a different finish to a section of a wall through the Wall Properties.
Complete the following steps to draw a collinear wall:
-
In the ROOM LAYOUT ribbon, click the wall Continuous button or construction line Continuous button.
-
Click in the floor area to begin the first wall section.
-
Extend the wall to the required length and click to confirm, or type in values in the Placement box and press ENTER.
-
To draw a collinear wall (second section), move the pointer and look at the Placement box. Bring the angle at 180 degrees so that the walls are collinear and then click to confirm the length and angle.
-
To add another wall section, repeat steps 3 and 4.
-
To stop adding walls, press the ESC key.
Note: If you prefer to draw walls/construction lines using 90-degree angles, select the Draw walls using 90 degree angles check box in the Wall/construction line settings of the Preferences dialog box. Then, follow the instructions in Draw connected walls using 90-degree angles.
