Shrinkwrapping Linework
Use this procedure to automatically create a profile or shrinkwrap outline
around any collection of contiguous linework entities, including architectural
objects. The visual result of the procedure is similar to merging the entities
(see Merging Linework or Profile-Based Objects on page 2810), but in this case
the outline you create is a separately selectable entity. Unlike the other AEC
Linework Tools, the Shrinkwrap tool is accessed from the General tool palette.
The AecLineworkShrinkwrap command the tool invokes is wrapped in a
DesignCenter command to accommodate layer keying (that is, shrinkwrap
polylines created using this tool are automatically placed on a particular layer
as specified by the associated layer key).
1 Open the Detailing tool palette, and click the Basic tab.
2 Click the Shrink Wrap tool.
3 Select all of the objects you want to shrinkwrap.
4 Press ENTER.
All objects within the shrinkwrap remain selected. You can now
select and move the shrinkwrap profile independently of the
linework it encloses.
