Creating Wall Styles
Creating Wall Styles
To create a straight wall style:
To create a round wall style:
Select the Wall or Round Wall tool from the Building Shell tool set, and then click Preferences from the Tool bar.
The Wall Preferences dialog box opens.
To modify an existing wall style, select the Wall Style from a library or the current file. Alternatively, select Unstyled as the wall style and set the parameters.
Specify the wall and component parameters as described in Creating Walls, and Drawing Straight Walls.
The attributes of an unstyled wall can be saved as a wall style. Set the Eyedropper Preferences to pick up all wall attributes and select the Pick Up Sets Defaults option. The Eyedropper tool can then be used to pick up wall attributes from an unstyled wall and add the settings to the Wall Preferences dialog box, where the settings can be saved as a style.
Click Save Preferences as Wall Style.
The Assign Name dialog box opens.
Enter a unique name for the wall style and click OK.
If the wall style name already exists, you are prompted to cancel and select a different name, or replace the existing wall style with the edited wall style, for all walls that use that style. If you are replacing wall styles, the Wall Replacement dialog box opens; specify the wall alignment properties.
The new wall style is saved with the file and displays in the Resource Manager and Resource Selector, as well as the Wall Style list on the Tool bar.
A new wall style can be created from an unstyled wall. Right-click on an unstyled wall, and select New Wall Style from Unstyled Wall from the context menu.
To create a wall style from the Resource Manager, click New Resource, select Wall Style, and then click Create. A wall style created in this way is not associated with the current wall preference setting, but it can be applied later.
