How quickly and easily manage Walls

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I split wall with layers to different wall segments to make my design workflow
more convenient?
I spend a lot of time with changing the joins between walls. How can I manage the joins
more faster?
How can I get a gravity centre point of the wall?

Modify/Calculate Parameters
Modify/Calculate Parameters changes parameters of hundreds
grouped or sorted different walls with one click.

Use right click functions to do modifications with
parameter values.
Modify/Calculate Parameters
Change Selected Parameters
Change Selected Parameters changes values of selected walls.
Modify/Calculate Parameters
Delete Selected Elements
Delete Selected Elements deletes selected walls from the model. The function can be
activated by selecting whole row from the list.
Modify/Calculate Parameters
Write Orientation
Write Orientation writes orientation (north, south, west, east) for selected walls to user
created or selected instance text parameter.
Result:
Modify/Calculate Parameters
Set Location Mark
Set Location Mark writes grid names where the wall is located.
Modify/Calculate Parameters
Insert Gravity Center Point
Insert Gravity Center Point adds user created element (generic models category) to
selected wall that shows gravity center.
Modify/Calculate Parameters
Calculate Elevations
Calculate Elevations calculates Z coordinates for selected walls and writes values to
selected parameter. The function works with instance length parameters.
Project Z coordinates of walls
bottom are written into users
created instance length
parameter.
Modify/Calculate Parameters
Calculate Coordinates X,Y
Calculate Coordinates X,Y calculates X and Y coordinates for selected walls and writes
values to selected parameter. The function works with instance text parameters.
Shared coordinates of walls middle point are
written into users created instance text
parameter.
Decompose Walls Configuration
Decompose Walls Configuration select where opening will be
added after Decompose Walls function.

Openings can be added to the structural layer of the wall:




or to the external layer:
Decompose Walls
Decompose Walls spites selected walls to the separate walls.

Wall type name will be the same
as material name plus the
thickness of the wall.


Gap Configuration by Wall Type
Gap Configuration by Wall Type change gap settings for every
wall type from the current project.

Allow Changing Joins select if wall joins can be changed;

Gap Distance set a distance for gap.

Green rows shows the wall types that are already used in the project.
Wall Modification Configuration
Wall Modification Configuration select in what sides the wall
has to be shortened after Disallow Joins function.

Shorten at Both Ends:
Shorten at Start Point:
Shorten at End Point:



Disallow Joins
Disallow Joins disallows joins between selected walls by
predefined settings. Settings for this function are under Gap
Configuration by Wall Type and Wall Modification Configuration.




Allow Joins
Allow Joins joins the end of selected walls.




Change Gap Distance to Default
Change Gap Distance to Default changes gap distances to
default gap distances for selected walls.

Default gap distances can be changed under Gap Configuration by
Wall Type:
Shorten Picked Wall End
Shorten Picked Wall End makes wall shorter with predefined
gap distance in the end for selected walls.

Pick the side of the wall that has
to be shortened:

Lengthen Picked Wall End
Lengthen Picked Wall End makes wall longer with predefined
gap distance in the end for selected walls.

Pick the side of the wall that has
to be lengthened:

Reverse Picked Wall End
Reverse Picked Wall End reverses wall end with predefined gap
distance for selected walls.


Pick the side of the wall
that has to be reversed:
