The Batt Insulation tool draws a planar insulation fill along a line. This tool is useful for creating custom details. The insulation can be placed within a wall, where it automatically adjusts to the length of the wall.
A better method of creating insulation fills, especially for walls, is to use a tile fill, which scales and rotates within walls and slab and wall components.
To create batt insulation:
1. Click the Batt Insulation tool from the Detailing tool set.
2. Click to mark the beginning of the insulation fill and then click again to mark the end of the object. If this is the first time the tool is used in this session, the Properties dialog box opens. Specify the preferences to use for this tool during this session, and then click OK. The parameters can be changed later in the Object Info palette.
3. The created batt insulation can be dragged into an existing wall.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
