Steps
- Click a wall. The Wall window opens on the right.
- Change the numbers in the window or drag the wall with the mouse.
Wall window
| Field | What it sets |
|---|---|
| The length along the inner and the outer side | |
| From 5 to 50 cm | |
| Which line stays in place when the thickness changes: the inner face, the centre line or the outer face. For a wall outside a room: left, centre line, right along the direction of the wall | |
| Which of the two walls runs through the corner in full. Auto: a load-bearing wall (brick, block, concrete) wins over a partition, glazing, plasterboard and wood; equal walls share the corner along the diagonal. Through and Butts are set manually | |
| The level of the top of the wall above the floor | |
| For a box under the ceiling or a wall above an opening. At zero the wall runs from the floor | |
| The material. The hatching on the plan depends on it. For a wall with a type it is taken from the type | |
| A named wall type with layers: Aerated concrete 300 + plaster, Plasterboard partition 100 and others. The thickness and base of the wall are taken from the type. No type: an ordinary wall | |
| Layers, Flip layers | The composition of the type as a line and a button that swaps the sides of the layers |
| Existing, to be demolished or new. See Renovation Stages | |
| Locks the wall. See How to lock a wall below | |
| Selects all walls of this kind and thickness on the floor | |
| Split icon | Divides the wall in half |
| Deletes the wall |
With the mouse
| What to do | What happens |
|---|---|
| The end moves, the neighbouring walls at this corner follow it | |
| The wall moves sideways, the room stretches | |
| The wall is moved as a whole | |
| Everything returns to how it was |
Good to know
- Lengths and thickness are entered in the project unit: a 2.5 m wall is in millimetres, in centimetres, in metres. Whole numbers are shown without a decimal point.
- A wall drawn as Left or
right of the line remembers that face, and a room drawn with a frame remembers the inner faces. Their new thickness grows outward, the size of the room does not change, and the neighbouring walls extend to the new corner. For a 
centre line wall the thickness grows in both directions. - A selected wall shows its dimensions: the length, and for a separate wall the thickness as well. A wall at a corner has two dimensions: the outer length to the outer corner and the inner length to the inner corner.
- If an edit breaks the plan (an opening does not fit, a wall becomes shorter than its thickness), it is not applied and the reason is shown in a message.
