Walls

Walls are three-dimensional elements, therefore a wall's thickness is important. By varying the thickness of the wall, anything from a bank vault to a mobile home can be illustrated. Likewise, by varying the heights of the ends and adjusting the peak height; sloping walls, peaked walls and straight walls can be created.

PROPERTIES:

Height at Start: gives the Z elevation of the top of the wall at the origin.
Height at End: gives Z elevation of the top of the wall at the termination.
Height at Peak: gives the Z elevation of the crest of the roof.
Peak Distance from Wall: sets the location of the roof crest.
Justification: determines which corner of the wall grips will be attached:
Left
Center

Center Line: illustrates the middle point of the wall as seen from above:
None
Dotted Line
