Adding an Interior Wall with a Wooden Frame and Panel Siding

In this example, an interior wall is added to a 2D drawing. The interior wall's direction is perpendicular to a log wall with a full-height bottom log. Select half a panel as the height of the lowest panel of the interior wall siding.

1. Activate the 2D drawing window.
2. Select Walls > Add Wall.

3. If necessary, open the Wall dialog box by selecting Select another wall.

4. Select wood frame and log panel siding as the wall structure.

7. Select Confirm.
8. Select the height of the bottom panel. Select the Half radio button in the dialog box.
9. Select Wall middle as the locating point.
10. Add an open wall chain. If the Toggle open/closed wall button is not selected, you will add an open wall chain. If the button is selected, you will add a closed wall chain.
11. Select the start point of the wall.

    

    In the example, the center point of the line depicting the interior surface of the log wall is selected.

12. Lock the cursor in the direction of the X axis in one of the following ways:
    • Press the U key.
    • Move the cursor in the direction of the X axis until the cursor looks like this and click the left mouse button.
    • Select Constraint > X axis from the context-sensitive menu.
13. Type the distance from the start point to the end point. Type the distance in the Distance field of the Coordinates Input dialog box. The dialog box will open when you press a numeric key on the keyboard.

    

14. Select Confirm.
15. Exit the function by pressing Esc.
16. Activate the 3D model by pressing F2.

    

    In the sample figure, the 3D presentation method of the walls has been changed to accurate using the context-sensitive menu function Presentation > Accurate. Additionally, the model has been visualized by selecting Draft > Render (Rendering add-on feature).
