How do I track a single wall in elevation?

Learn how to use the Track Single Wall command to outline and create single wall elevations in your roofing projects.

Menu path

Walls > Track Single Wall
​


🧾 What it does

The Track Single Wall command allows you to create a single wall elevation by tracking around its outline. This method is ideal when you need to follow the perimeter of an existing structure or when drawing around complex wall shapes that would be difficult to create with straight line segments.

You can insert multiple wall elevations on the same job using this command, making it useful for projects with multiple separate wall sections.

πŸ”§ How to use it

  1. Navigate to Walls > Track Single Wall

  2. Position your cursor at the starting point of the wall outline

  3. Click to begin tracking

  4. Move your cursor along the outline of the wall you want to create

  5. The software will follow your cursor movement to define the wall shape

  6. Click to set key points along the wall outline as needed

  7. Complete the wall by returning to your starting point or finishing the outline

  8. The wall elevation will be created based on your tracked path

πŸ›  When to use this command

Track Single Wall is particularly useful when:

  • Following irregular or curved wall outlines

  • Tracing existing wall structures from plans or site measurements

  • Creating walls that don't follow simple geometric patterns

  • Working with walls that have multiple direction changes

πŸ’‘ Tips

This command works similarly to other tracking functions in Roof Wizard, so if you're familiar with tracking roof outlines, the same principles apply to wall tracking.

Take your time when tracking to ensure accuracy, as the wall elevation will be based on the path you define.

⚠️ Important notes

As with the Draw Single Wall command, you can add multiple wall elevations to a single project, allowing you to model complete building elevations with multiple wall sections.
