This example shows you how to draw walls in a clockwise direction without using the Ortho button to change angles.  

  1. Make sure that you are in the Continuous wall mode in the Room Layout ribbon.

  2. Click the lower-left corner of the Floor Plan, as indicated by the X in the following figure.



    The Edit Shape ribbon appears.

  3. Move the pointer left and right. Notice that you can change angles by simply moving the pointer.

  4. In the Edit Shape ribbon, click Draw Using Front Dimension.

  5. Move the pinter upward to extend the first wall's length to 120" and the angle to 90 degrees (look at the Placement box to verify the length and angle). The measurements do not have to be accurate for this exercise. Click to confirm.

  6. Move the pointer to the right and extend the second wall's length to 90" and the angle to 125 degrees. Click to confirm.

  7. Move the pointer to the right and extend the third wall's length to 90" and the angle to 110 degrees. Click to confirm.

  8. Move the pionter downward and extend the fourth wall's length to 120" and the angle to 125 degrees. Click to confirm.

  9. Press ESC to finish adding walls. The following figure shows the result.

Tip: To display wall dimensions, right-click in the Floor Plan area, select Display Settings, select the Dimensions tab, and then select the Auto Dimensions check box.
