    1. the length of wall being modified.
    2. the distance from the nearest face of the perpendicular wall to the nearest end of wall being modified.
  • When the wall being modified connects to a perpendicular wall in a tee (T) intersection and is perpendicular to another wall, a Heads Up Display dimension string appears showing...
    1. the length of wall being modified.
    2. the distance from the nearest face of the perpendicular wall to the nearest end of wall being modified.
  • When the wall being modified connects to a perpendicular wall in an ell (L) intersection and is perpendicular to another wall, a Heads Up Display dimension string appears showing...
    1. the length of wall being modified.
