Style

In the Vectorworks Fundamentals product, all walls are unstyled. The Vectorworks Architect or Landmark product is required to select other wall styles; see Creating Walls.

Thickness

Thickness

Displays the overall thickness of the wall; the thickness of a wall without components is determined by the wall attributes. The thickness of a wall with components is defined by the sum of the component thicknesses.

Vis Thick

Displays the visible wall thickness, while accounting for component visibility settings. Invisible components on the interior and exterior of the wall cause the wall to appear thinner than its actual length, for display purposes.

Height

Height

Directly sets the desired height of the wall. When the wall height is determined manually by this method, the Top Bound property of the wall is automatically set to Layer Elevation, and the Top Offset value is modified accordingly.

When the top of the wall is bound by the layer wall height value, the wall height displays automatically.

Top Bound

Sets the vertical reference that determines the top of the wall.

The Layer Wall Height value is set by the design layer (see Setting Design Layer Properties).

Additional options are available for the Vectorworks Architect product; see Creating Walls.

Top Offset

Sets the offset of the top of the wall from its specified Top Bound height.

Bottom Bound

Sets the vertical reference that determines the bottom of the wall; Layer Elevation is the only option available unless the Vectorworks Architect product is installed

Bottom Offset

For the bottom of the wall, sets the offset from the layer elevation

Caps

Select whether a wall segment is capped at the start point, the end point, both ends, or has no caps at all

Attr
(standard wall required)

When the wall is capped, specifies whether the wall cap attributes comes from the wall line attributes or the component line attributes

Components
(standard wall required)

Edits the wall components of unstyled walls (see Creating Wall Components)

Cut Plane
(curtain wall required)

Sets the height for the display of the Top/Plan appearance of the curtain wall

Curtain Wall Grid
(curtain wall required)

Opens the Curtain Wall Grid dialog box, for editing the curtain wall frame and panel settings as described in Creating Curtain Walls

Reverse Sides

Reverses the direction of the wall sections (see Wall Direction); walls should be drawn in a clockwise direction

Render tab

(Renderworks, standard walls required)

Mode

Select whether to texture the wall according to textures defined for the wall (By Object) or according to textures defined for the components (By Component). See Applying a Texture to an Object , Applying Wall Textures, and Creating Wall Components.
