Creating Walls from a Polygon

Walls can be created from a polygon in the Vectorworks Fundamentals product.

In the Vectorworks Design Series products, walls can be created by drawing a polyline or shape and then selecting the Create Objects from Shapes command (see Creating Objects from Shapes).

To create walls from a polygon:

1. Draw or select the polygon to become the basis for the walls.

2. Select Modify > Create Walls from Polygon.

The Create Walls from Poly dialog box opens. Select the desired wall parameters.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Wall position relative to edge of poly	Specifies whether the wall position should be centered on the polygon, inside the polygon, or outside the polygon
Use existing wall style	Specifies whether to create the walls using the currently selected wall style (Design Series required) or current wall settings; if selecting Yes, the remaining choices are disabled since they are preset
Use existing wall thickness	Select Yes to create the walls using the current wall thickness or select No to specify a different Thickness value
Use existing wall height	Select Yes to create the walls using the current wall height or select No to specify a different Height value
Assign to class	Select the class for the walls
Delete Source Poly	Deletes the source polygon after the walls are created

3. Click OK.

The walls are created based on the original polygon and the specified parameters.
