Show/Hide - Walls
What it does
Displays or hides hatch patterns on modelled walls to make them easier to select and confirm that Roof Wizard recognises those planes as walls (not just plane entities).
🔧 How to show wall hatching
Model your walls using any of the wall creation tools
Use the [Show/Hide-Walls] command to display hatch patterns on the walls
The hatching will appear as either vertical or horizontal lines, depicting the style of siding (vertical or horizontal)
🔧 How to hide wall hatching
Use the [Show/Hide-Walls] command again to turn off the hatch pattern
You can still select the walls by clicking onto their individual tick marks (selection handles) located in one of the corners of the wall outline
🛠 Changing hatch orientation
You can change the hatching style between horizontal and vertical using the [Hor/Vert] command.
🧾 Wall display options
The appearance of the walls on screen is determined by the System Preference settings for Planes. You can choose between two display modes:
Display Mode | Description |
Hatched planes | Shows walls with line patterns indicating siding direction |
Filled planes | Shows walls as solid filled areas |
💡 Benefits of showing wall hatching
Makes walls easier to select for operations
Confirms that Roof Wizard recognises those planes as walls
Visual indication of siding orientation (vertical or horizontal)
⚠️ Important notes
Even when hatching is hidden, walls can still be selected using the tick marks (selection handles) at the corners
Wall display preferences are controlled through System Preference settings
