DesignSeries00071.pngCreating walls from spaces

For flexibility in the design process, walls can be created automatically based on existing objects in the drawing including spaces, polygons and shapes. Because of the special relationship between walls and spaces, a dedicated command creates walls from spaces. To create walls from other objects, see Creating objects from shapes.

Command

Path

Create Walls from Spaces

AEC > Space Planning

Once the floor plan has been developed with multiple spaces, the interior and exterior walls can be automatically created.

To create walls from spaces:

1.      Ensure that space objects are present in the drawing. To automatically create walls with a 3D height, specify a delta-Z value for the design layer where the walls will be created.

2.Select the command.

The Create Walls from Spaces dialog box opens. Specify the style of walls to create and their location.

The available wall styles are defined by wall style resources (see Using wall styles).

Exterior and interior walls are applied automatically to the spaces. Round walls approximating the curves are used for Bézier and cubic spline vertices in the space objects.
