Description

Quickly creates and edits rectangular and L-shaped spaces and buildings. The layout of the QuickDraw cursor represents the space being created. It also indicates the alignment with existing walls and distances from existing solids.

Note: If dynamic input (DYN) is set ON, the dimensions are displayed, as the spaces are created. The dimensions can also be entered manually.
Note: The default settings can be changed in the Settings dialog box.

Options

Floor to Floor Distance (Floor Height)
Sets the floor to floor distance. The value is saved to the FLOORTOFLOORDISTANCE system variable and will be used until set differently.
Note: The default value is 3250mm.
Wall Width
Sets the width of the walls being created. The width is saved to the WALLWIDTH system variable and will be used until set differently.
Note: The default value is 250mm.
Slab thickness
Sets the slab thickness of the room. The thickness is saved to the SLABTHICKNESS system variable and will be used until set differently.
Note: The default value is 250mm.
Auto adapt sizes
Allows to copy the wall width and height from an existing wall, thus overriding the current value of the WALLWIDTH system variable.
  • ON: The width and height are copied from the highlighted wall when you place the QuickDraw cursor against a wall to specify the first corner of a new room. When two walls of different height or width highlight (corner), the dimensions of the wall that highlights first are copied.
  • OFF: The values of the FLOORTOFLOORDISTANCE and WALLWIDTH system variables are used.
Add story
Adds a story to the existing building:
  • Full copy of the top floor.
  • Copies the slab and the outer walls of the top floor.
  • Finish the building with flat roof.
