Assign Wall Design Groups Dialog

SettingDescription
Wall Design Group Numbers When the dialog is first displayed the next available unused Wall Design Group Number will be displayed in the list box, with “(new)” shown beside it. For example if walls have been assigned to Wall Design Group numbers “1” and “2” then “3 (new)” will be displayed in the drop-down box.

Clicking the drop-down box will display a list of already used Wall Design Group numbers. To select an existing Wall Design Group Number from the drop-down list, click to display the list and then click on the desired number. This will cause all walls in the Wall Design Group to be colored yellow in the 3DView for easy visual verification.

Assign Mode To add or remove walls to or from a Wall Design Group one by one, use the ‘Single’ assign mode. The Wall Design Group number currently displayed will be the one added to or removed from. Clicking the Single button will close the dialog and the select cursor will be displayed. Click on any wall to add it to the design group. Clicking on a wall that is already in the Wall Design Group it will remove it from the group. Clicking a second time will add it back into the group.

Clicking on a wall that is already part of another wall design group will result in the wall being removed from its current group and being added to the new group. While clicking on it again will remove it from the new group, it will not return it to its previous group.

To add multiple walls to a Wall Design Group at once, use the Add > Fence assign mode. To remove multiple walls from a Wall Design Group at once, use the Remove > Fence assign mode. Each of these commands will close the dialog and the fence cursor will be displayed. Fence a group of walls to add them to the specified Wall Design Group. Fencing walls already in the current group will not cause them to be removed from the group.

Remove All Click the Remove All button to remove all walls from the specified group. The walls in the group will be removed from the specified Wall Design Group and will be unassigned. This is only enabled if the currently selected Wall Design Group contains at least one wall.
