Working with Walls

The commands in the Layout > Walls menu work essentially the same as their Layout > Beam counterparts. Refer to the Working with Beams section for a description of each command. The Layout > Walls commands are available only when modeling in Concrete or “Other” material mode.

When two walls come together to form a T - shape, the wall that forms the "flange" of the "T" must be modeled by the user as two separate walls. It is necessary to have a node line in the wall where the "stem" of the "T" frames in. The DataCheck will indicate an error when this condition is modeled incorrectly.

Note: Wall openings can only be modeled while in Elevation View. Refer to Working with Walls for more information on modeling wall openings.
