Creating Walls from a Polygon

Another way of obtaining walls is to create them from a polygon.

To create walls from a polygon:

1.	Draw or select the polygon to become the basis for the walls.

2.	Select Modify > Create Walls from Polygon.

The Create Walls from Poly dialog box opens. Select the desired wall parameters.

 

Parameter	Description
Wall position relative to edge of poly	Specifies whether the wall position should be centered on the polygon, inside the polygon, or outside the polygon
Use existing wall style	Specifies whether to create the walls using the existing wall style
Use existing wall thickness	Specifies whether to create the walls using the existing wall thickness or specify a new Thickness value
Use existing wall height	Specifies whether to create the walls using the existing wall height or specify a new Height value
Assign to class	Select the class into which the walls should be placed
Delete Source Poly	Deletes the source polygon after the walls are created

3.

Click OK.

VectorWorks creates the wall(s) based on the original polygon and the specified parameters.
