Batt Insulation
|
Detailing |
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:
Click the tool and mode.
Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the length and rotation. The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
The created batt insulation can be dragged into an existing wall.
