Wall Work

Wall work

This menu contains the functions for post-processing the walls.

Wall work - Corner change

In the Corner Intersection function, two walls are selected one after the other and then intersected at a corner. The selected sections of the walls are retained, while any excess parts are deleted. If the walls are too short, they are extended to the corner. Walls that have already been intersected (T-joints) cannot be connected with the corner intersection; for this, the walls must first be separated from each other.

Wall treatments - T-joint

Two walls are connected at a T-joint. First, the butting wall is selected, then the butted wall. The former is extended accordingly. The butted wall must be of sufficient length.

Wall treatments - Loosening

The 'Detach' function allows you to detach two intersected walls (corner intersection, T-joint). Select the wall you want to detach from another wall.

Wall processing - Adjust

With the 'Fit' function, a wall can be adjusted to any line. The wall is lengthened or shortened as needed, and the section angle is adjusted to the selected line. This can also give the wall a slanted end.

You select the wall you want to adjust, then the line you want to adjust to. If the adjustment shortens the wall (part of it disappears), you select it in the area of ​​the wall that will remain intact.

Wall finishing - control

The 'Control' function allows you to turn the intersection marker for the wall ends on and off. The following intersection markers are available:

• E with another wall to form a corner . : End of a wall which is cut

• T to the butted wall with a T -joint. : Wall end of the butting wall, which is connected

• N : Wall end which is not intersected with another wall.

With this function you can check whether and if so how a wall has been cut with another wall.

Wall processing - sliding

The 'Move' function allows you to move a single wall perpendicular to the wall. If the wall already contains bars and slabs, these components will be moved along with it.

Select the wall you want to move. Then enter the distance you want to move it. If the wall is connected, a minimum and maximum distance will be specified if necessary. If you want to move the wall further, you must first detach it.

Wall processing - sliding floor plan

The 'Move Floor Plan' function moves the entire floor plan, including all walls on all floors. To do so, select a base point and a target point. The X and Y displacement is then displayed in a dialog box and can be adjusted. If you want to move the floor plan by a specific amount, you can also click the same point (base and target point) twice. A displacement of 0.0 is then displayed, and you can enter the desired displacement.

Wall treatments - execution

This function allows you to change the finish of existing walls. Multiple walls can be selected as long as they have the same finish.

The new design may have different layer thicknesses, etc. Therefore, the selected wall may be thicker or thinner. Therefore, it is necessary to determine which edge of the wall should be retained.

Wall treatments - Name Design

This function allows you to change the name of a wall finish of an existing wall without changing the finish itself.

Wall treatments - heights

The bottom edge and maximum wall height of individual or multiple walls can be changed. If multiple walls are selected, they must have the same bottom edge and maximum wall height.

Changing the bottom edge automatically shifts all components of this wall by the difference. Openings (windows and doors) can also be moved, if desired.

The change in the maximum wall height is particularly interesting in the roof area, for example if after a floor transfer the height of the walls is not sufficient for a roof intersection.

Wall work - Attribute

In this dialog box, different attributes can be set for individual walls:

Wall name : The wall can be given a special name that should appear next to the wall number, e.g. on plans.

Texture set : The texture set can be different on each wall regardless of the finish.

HRB flow : The HRB flow can be different on each wall regardless of the design.

Left wall end, right wall end, horizontal upper end, slanted upper end, lower end : Here, the identifiers for these wall areas can be assigned for the HRB occupancy. A distinction is made between horizontal and slanted at the upper ends. This is useful, for example, in the roof area for walls that connect to the roof and the collar beam. In principle, all identifiers can be assigned regardless of the floor level.

Wall work - Orientation

This function allows you to change the viewing direction of a wall. The layer layout is also reversed accordingly. When making the change, you can choose whether to retain the outer edges of the wall or the reference axis.

Wall treatments - numbering

This function allows you to subsequently change the numbering (order) of the walls. To do so, select the walls with the mouse in the desired order.

Wall editing - delete

This command deletes individual walls. The walls previously connected to this wall are terminated at right angles along their length.
