Create a Wall from a Line

You can create a wall from a polyline or an arc drawn in the drawing or in the model. The wall type, wall structure, positioning height, reference line, representation, visibility etc., is defined in the same way as when adding a wall.

1. Select a line.
2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
3. Select Build Wall from Line.
4. Select the wall in a dialog box.

   If you have used the adding function before, the previously selected wall is now the default wall. You can check which wall is selected from the status bar. You can change the wall by first selecting the Select Another Wall function from the contextual toolbar.

5. If necessary, change the locating height of the wall or the reference line, or select another function from the contextual toolbar.

6. You can also select the wall's presentation method on the contextual toolbar. The coarse/accurate presentation method is especially important when adding a log wall. By default, the presentation method of a log wall is coarse. Individual logs are modeled in the accurate presentation method, but this also increases the size of the model and slows down its handling.
