Wall Properties

The properties of selected straight or round walls and their components can be edited in the Object Info palette. Change the wall attributes from the Attributes palette.

 

Parameter	Description
Style	In VectorWorks Fundamentals, all walls are un-styled. VectorWorks Architect is required to select other wall styles; see Creating Walls in Architect.
+/- Z	Sets the default wall height value
Link Wall Height to Layer +/- Z	Sets the default wall height to the value specified for the design layer’s Delta Z value (see Setting Design Layer Properties) Deselecting this option breaks the association between wall height and the layer’s Delta Z value.
Offset	Adds to or subtracts from the height of the design layer’s Delta Z value
Bot Z	Sets the location of the bottom of the wall above or below the layer’s Z value
Thick	Displays the overall thickness of the wall; the thickness of a wall without components is determined by the wall attributes. The thickness of a wall with components is defined by the sum of the component thicknesses.
Visible Thickness	Displays the wall thickness, while accounting for component visibility settings. Invisible components on the interior and exterior of the wall cause the wall to appear thinner than its actual length, for display purposes.
Caps	Select whether a wall segment is capped at the start point, the end point, both ends, or has no caps at all
Type	When the wall is capped, specifies flat or round caps
Components	Edits the wall components (see Creating Wall Components)
Reverse Sides	Reverses the direction of the wall sections (see Wall Direction)
