Selecting a point near the middle of the wall segment will display the Midpoint Osnap on the justification line. If you move your cursor off of the existing wall segment, the justification line will disappear. Once you start to add the new wall segment, the justification line is automatically displayed on the existing wall segment, whether or not its display was turned on. For example, you may want to start a new wall segment from the midpoint of an existing wall segment. Start by specifying which Osnaps you want to be active. Use this procedure to draw a new wall segment using any of the Object Snap modes on an existing wall segment justification line. To Draw a Wall Segment From a Wall Justification Line Specify the endpoint of the wall, and press Enter. The wall segment is extended until it meets a wall segment perpendicular to the first wall segment.Ĭlose the wall by adding a wall segment from the previous point to the start point of the wallĬomplete the wall segment at a point that you specify Ĭlose the wall by drawing 2 wall segments that meet the start point at a right angleĮnter or (Ortho Close), and then specify a point in the direction you want the wall to close. You can enter a value in the dynamic dimension box, or on the Properties palette, under Dimensions, enter a value for Offset, and the wall will move the offset distance entered in the direction from your cursor location to the current justification line. You can also pick any point inside or outside of the wall to specify as an offset point for repositioning the wall. For example, you may wish to align the outside face of a wall’s brick veneer with a column grid line or align the inside face of a wall’s structural CMU with a column. Reposition a wall segment as you are drawing it to align a particular wall component with a specific point or guideline. A solid line indicates a component face, a dashed line indicates a component center, and a center line indicates the overall center of the wall.
When you specify the offset option and move your cursor over the wall segment, assistant lines with a tooltip display to indicate which part of the particular wall component is selected.
Reposition a wall segment while you are drawing it by specifying an offset based on a wall component’s face or center, or the overall center of the wall.
