Dims/Notes

The Break Line tool creates one of three types of break lines: straight, curved, or arc.

On site models, pads with open edges, sometimes called break lines, can be created using the Site Modifier tool (Vectorworks Architect or Landmark required). See Creating a planar pad from grade limits.

To draw a break line:

Click the tool and mode.

Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the 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 from the Object Info palette.
