Creating a Roof Over a Bay

[English]

I did change the default wall type as suggested but forgot the Same wall type Handle.   I'll go back and change that.  I'm drawing the basement first because it already exists and was never permitted so I need to start from somewhere.

I understand what you are saying about starting the second wall on top of the first which than either lengthens or shortens it.  If I turn on the Same wall type Handle, will that stop this from happening?  If not then how?
Thanks

Alan

 

Edit

Checked the Same wall type handle box in Preferences.   Tried to draw those five walls and it is absolutely impossible to get the lengths I need.  Every time I change one wall's length it changes the others.

Please someone tell me how I can create these walls of the correct length.  Do I need to use the Lock Start/Middle/End function?  Seems as if I tried that before and it didn't seem to work -- but there again I may have been doing it wrong.

Thanks

Follow the instructions in post 15. Briefly, draw wall, set to length, draw next wall, set to length etc.

 

Drawing each new wall using the same wall type handle from the previous wall.

Sorry to be so obtuse but what do you mean when you say "Drawing each wall using the same wall type handle from the previous wall"?  I have the wall type handles turned on an my default wall set as brick and block foundation.

Thanks

Never mind -- grab that handle and draw the next wall -- sweet.

Thanks Eric

No we will get back to the roof eventually.
