Draw Wall Stacks

Wall Stacks allows you to quickly generate complex wall arrangements. Make sure that the Plan View is active. Click the Draw Wall Stacks button, or the Draw menu > Draw Wall Stacks command. The New Wall Stack form shown in figure below will appear.

Select any of the predefined wall stacks by clicking on the representative icon. The lengths and thicknesses of the wall segments may be altered by entering changes into the edit boxes on the Layout Data tab. Once all wall stack parameters have been reviewed under the Layout Data tab, click the OK button. The Properties of Object box for the wall stacks will appear docked in the lower left-hand corner.

Verify that the angle and range of stories for the wall stack are correct in the Properties of Object form, and then left click once in the Plan View where the wall stack is to be placed. A wall stack is drawn at that location for the number of stories specified. Continue in this manner to place other wall stacks.

To leave the Draw mode, click the Select Object button. Click the File menu > Save command, or the Save button, to save the model.
