Modify Slanted Wall

Slanted walls can be stretched and/or their slant angle can be modified with pet palette commands in 3D and Section views.

In 3D, you can:

Slant a wall or change the slant angle by selecting its corner point and dragging it along the horizontal plane. (Use Modify Angle in the pet palette.)

Note: You cannot slant a wall whose reference line is centered.

Stretch a slanted wall by moving its top or bottom edge up or down along the wall plane (Use Stretch slanted height.)

Stretch a slanted wall vertically. (Use Stretch height in the pet palette.) As you change the wall height, the wall thickness remains the same but its slant angle is adjusted accordingly.

In Section view, you can use the same functions. (“Modify Slant Angle” is possible only if the wall’s reference line is perpendicular to the section line.) In Section view, the Tracker’s “Distance” field provides a way to edit the wall inclination using its offset (e.g. Distance) value.)

Double-Slanted Wall Editing

You can edit double slanted walls in 3D or Section in four different ways:
