Joining Objects

Join Command

The Join command can be used to join two single lines, two double lines, or two walls together. Joined lines intersect but remain as individual objects.

 

Object	Specifications
Individual Lines	An individual line can be joined to another individual line
Double Lines	Double lines can be joined to another set of double lines or to a wall. Double lines drawn with the Create Polygons option (set in Double Line preferences) cannot be joined. Only the line elements of double lines drawn with the Create Lines and Polygons option can be joined.
Walls	A wall can be joined to another wall or to double lines created with the Create Lines option (set in Double Line preferences). Walls will join to the line elements of double lines drawn with the Create Lines and Polygons option.

Join

To join walls, single lines, or double lines:

1.	Select the two non-parallel walls, lines, or double lines to join.

2.	Select Modify > Join > Join.

The selected walls/lines are joined together with any excess trimmed away.

Join and Fillet

To join and fillet double lines:

1.	Select the two sets of non-parallel double lines to join.

2.	Select Modify > Join > Join and Fillet.

If a fillet measurement has already been specified for this drawing, VectorWorks automatically connects the two double lines and creates a fillet using the default value.

If a fillet measurement has not been specified for this drawing, the Fillet Settings dialog box opens. Enter the desired fillet radius and click OK. VectorWorks automatically connects the two double lines and creates a fillet using the specified value.

Join (No Trim)

To join two overlapping walls or individual lines, without trimming away the excess:

1.	Select the two non-parallel walls or lines to join.

2.	Select Modify > Join > Join (no trim).

The selected walls/lines are joined without trimming any excess.
