🧾 What it does
The Orientation command lets you change wall panels from horizontal siding to vertical siding (and vice-versa). When walls are first created in Roof Wizard, they default to siding orientation set in Cladding/Siding Allowances.
🔧 How to change orientation
Select the wall(s) you want to modify
Go to Walls > Orientation
Click to toggle between horizontal and vertical panel orientation
The wall will immediately update to show the new orientation
🛠 Understanding orientation display
Panel direction lines show you the current orientation of your wall panels:
Display Setting | What You See |
Hatching | Panel direction lines are visible as hatch patterns showing horizontal or vertical orientation |
Filled planes | Panel direction lines are not visible until after panels have been applied to the wall |
💡 Changing orientation after panel application
You can change panel orientation even after panels have been applied to walls. When you change the orientation, the panels will automatically re-draw in the new direction.
⚠️ Important notes
If you cannot see the orientation lines on your walls, check your wall plane display settings. The direction lines are only visible when Hatching is set as the default display setting for wall planes.
