Modify a Straight Wall

In the design explorer or 3D graphical view, select the wall element to be modified as the CE.

From the main menu toolbar select Modify > Wall > Definition to display the Modify STWALL window and the Positioning Control toolbar.

By default the Start position of the current element is displayed showing XEast, YNorth and ZUp co-ordinates with respect to the world.

The Start position is indicated in the 3D graphical view.

Use the Position options to specify the point on the element to which the position co-ordinates apply.

You can specify Start, End or Centre.

Dependant on the option specified the application of modified co-ordinates has this effect on the CE:

• Start — Relocates the start position of the element to the specified co-ordinates, and leaves its end position unchanged.

• End — Relocates the end position of the element to the specified co-ordinates, and leaves its start position unchanged.

• Centre — Relocates the entire element, locates its centre at the specified co-ordinates and modifies the start and end positions.

To define a position by reference to design items that already exist, use the Positioning Control toolbar and the cursor to identify the required position by picking it in the 3D graphical view.

Use the Settings option to change the length and direction of the wall.

Use the End Direction option to change the end direction to Perpendicular or maintain the original direction.

Click OK to make the changes or click Cancel to discard any inputs and close the Modify STWALL window.
