What it does
The Create Wall command allows you to select any closed polygonal shape and create a wall plane upon it. This is particularly useful for restoring wall planes after modifying wall edge lines using Smartlines functions.
🔧 How to use Create Wall
Ensure you have a closed polygonal shape drawn on your model (this could be created using line tools or remaining after wall modifications)
Navigate to Walls > Create Wall or click the Create Wall button in the walls toolbar
Click to select the closed polygonal shape you want to convert to a wall plane
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the wall creation
The system will generate a wall plane based on your selected shape
🛠 Common use case: Restoring walls after modifications
This command is particularly valuable when you've used Smartlines functions to:
Delete existing walls
Trim wall lines
Cut wall lines
After these modifications, you can use Create Wall to reinstate the wall planes where needed.
💡 Tips
The polygonal shape must be completely closed for the command to work
Check that all line endpoints connect properly before attempting to create the wall
This command works with any closed shape, not just rectangular forms
⚠️ Important notes
Wall planes: These are the 3D surfaces that represent your walls in the model
Closed polygonal shape: A series of connected lines that form a complete, enclosed boundary
The original polygonal lines will typically remain as wall edge lines after the wall plane is created
