Arc Wall

The Arc Wall command is used to draw walls by the center-radius-angles technique. The wall drawing is performed by determining first the center, then the radius and finally the arc angle.

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Left-click a point on the drawing area to determine the center of the arc wall segment to be drawn.

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Left-click another point to determine the arc radius. During the determination of radius you can use the L cell on the co-ordinate box. (Press L from the keyboard at this step, enter radius in terms of meters, press enter and click any point on the drawing area. The radius will be as much as the value you entered.)

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Move the mouse cursor counter-clockwise. The preview of the wall being drawn will move depending on the motion of the mouse. You can change the definition axis of the wall (top-middle-bottom) at this stage by pressing the space-bar from the keyboard.

Image/idearchitectural00090000.gif Left-click a third point to complete wall drawing. At this stage you can determine the arc angle again using the co-ordinate box. (Press A from the keyboard, enter the angle value in degrees and press enter. Then left-click any point on the drawing area.) Press Esc from the keyboard or right-click and click Cancel from the appearing menu to exit from the arc wall drawing mode.
