The Component Join tool joins the selected components between two straight wall segments; components within pre-existing joined wall segments can also be joined. There are three modes for joining wall components.
Components can be joined to the edge of walls instead of specific components if desired, using any of the modes. The Component Join tool cannot be used on Y joined walls.
The T Join mode extends or shortens one wall component segment until it intersects with a second wall component segment. As only the first component is extended, this mode will not create corner type joins. (For those, use the L join mode. See L Join Mode for more information.)

To join wall components with the T Join mode:
|
|
1.
|
|
2.
|
Click T Join from the Tool bar.
|
The L Join mode joins the closest ends of two wall components to create a corner. Both component lengths are extended or shortened, as necessary, until they meet cleanly.
|
To join wall components with the L Join mode:
|
|
1.
|
|
2.
|
Click L Join from the Tool bar.
|
Like the T Join mode, the Capped Join mode extends or shortens one wall component until it intersects with a second component. The component end is capped at the point where it joins the other wall.
|
To join wall components with the Capped Join mode:
|
|
1.
|
|
2.
|
Click Capped Join from the Tool bar.
