Joining Walls

walljoin_tool.png 

The Wall Join tool is in the Walls tool set (Fundamentals workspace), the Building Shell tool set (Design Series workspaces), and the Site Planning tool set (Landmark workspace).

The Wall Join tool joins straight or curved wall segments not already connected using the Auto join walls preference. (See Automatically Joining Walls for information on Auto join walls.) There are three modes for joining walls and two end cap modes.
