For information about defining Materials, see Creating and Editing Material
Definitions on page 905.
â–  Specifying Wall Display: the visual appearance of a wall is defined in the
wall style. Define the layer, color, linetype settings of the individual wall
components, hatching, and the cut plane display of the wall in plan views.
The display settings defined in the wall style can be overridden for an
individual wall. For more information, see Specifying the Display Properties
of a Wall Style on page 1302
â–  Specifying Default Wall Settings: access the Options dialog and specify
the defaults for dimensioning walls and for wall cleanup. The cleanup
settings apply only to new walls.
â–  Using Wall Tools: Tools provided with AutoCAD Architecture let you
quickly place walls by selecting a wall tool with a specific wall style and
other predefined properties. You can also use wall tools to convert linework
to walls and to apply the settings of a wall tool to existing walls.
You can also access Stock Tool, Sample palette, and Design Tool catalogs.
When you place walls using wall tools, you can use the default settings of
the tool, or you can change settings for any wall properties that are not
controlled by the style.
Wall Endcaps and Opening Endcaps
Work with wall and opening endcaps to create endcap conditions:
â–  Modifying Wall Endcaps with Edit in Place Grips: You can use Edit in Place
grips to modify wall endcaps and create the wall endcap conditions that
you want. Vertex and Edge grips are displayed for all wall components at
the wall endcap that you specify. For more information, see Using Edit in
Place to Modify Wall Endcaps on page 1361.
â–  Creating Wall Endcaps Using Calculate Automatically: You can use the
Calculate Automatically feature with appropriate polyline linework to
create wall endcaps. Calculate Automatically will add boundary segments
to complete an endcap configuration if the initial polyline is drawn with
regard to location and orientation of the particular wall component. For
more information, see Creating Wall Endcaps Using Calculate Automatically
on page 1382.
â–  Creating Wall Endcaps Using AEC Modify Tools: You can use AEC Modify
Tools to manipulate wall components to create appropriate wall endcap
configurations. Use Trim, Extend, Subtract, and Merge tools as necessary
to do this. You can modify single wall components or you can modify all
Wall Parameters | 1235
