2- Modify the default thickness if necessary.

3- A left-click on the grid starts drawing the partition.

4- Each left-click marks a pause in the drawing.

'Repeat action' Option

Enabling this option allows you to chain the drawing of partitions.

(The 'Space' bar on your keyboard will cancel the current action)

'Magnetism' Option

Enabling this option allows you to ensure a cleaner drawing with automatic assistance on your partition angles at 90° (45° and 135°).

Moving Walls and Precision Measurements

> You can refine a partition angle by clicking on the green point representing the intersection of two walls:

1- Click on the blue point at the intersection.

2- Hold left-click and move the point with the mouse to modify the intersection angle.

3- Determine the angle more precisely using the arrows on your keyboard.

> You can move your walls by selecting them:

1- Click on the partition to move.

2- Hold left-click and move the partition with the mouse to reposition it.

3- Determine the partition's position more precisely using the arrows on your keyboard.

> You can redefine the various measurements of your drawing:

1- Click on the desired measurement.

2- Enter the expected length (in ft & inches) of the measurement.

3- Click on the blue or orange arrow to choose the direction of the measurement.

Modifying a Wall

When you have drawn a wall, you can change its properties in the settings:

- Its height, which by default corresponds to the height defined for the entire level.

⚠️ A wall's height cannot exceed that defined for the entire level on which it was drawn!

- Its thickness (between 0 3/4" and 3'-3 1/4").

- Whether it is cut by the ceilings (complete floor) OR by the ceilings / lining (under the roof).

Note that you can complement your drawing
thanks to the 'Beams' and 'Posts' tools.
