To create an out-of-square wall, you have to activate the function Wall management and use one of these two methods:

  • You can select Walls > Wall management from the menu bar
  • You can click on the icon on the toolbar on the left side
  • You can press CTRL+W using the keyboard

If a wall is to be built at an angle of 45° with respect to the adjacent one, you have to press the button CTRL on the keyboard during insertion, as described in the bottom-centre of the screen (fig. 0). The function can be activated only if the orthogonal command . has been selected. Then insert the length of the wall in millimetres, as you do for linear walls. .

(fig. 0)

If the wall has a different angle than 45°, there are 3 construction methods depending on the data you know: angle, diagonal and triangulation method.

Angle method

This is the easiest and quickest method to use if you know the value of the out-of-square angle. Click on one of the edges of the linear wall already built (fig. 1) to insert the second wall, then select the command Angle on the toolbar on the left side (fig. 2).

(fig. 1)

(fig. 2)

Click with the cursor which will become a square on the line of the wall with respect to which you would like to set the measure of the angle (fig. 3).

(fig. 3)

In the field Angle insert the value of the out-of-square angle (fig. 4), move the mouse to determine the direction of the wall and then insert the length in millimetres using the keyboard (fig. 5).

(fig. 5)

Diagonal method

To use this method, click on one of the edges of the wall already built (fig. 6) and select the command Diagonalon the toolbar on the left side (fig. 7).

(fig. 6)

(fig. 7)

Click with the cursor on the side of the wall in respect to which you would like to create an out-of-square wall (fig. 8).

(fig. 8)

Then a window will appear (fig. 9).

To use this method, it is necessary to know measure 1, measure 2 and the length of the diagonal to automatically calculate the measure of the angle (fig. 10) and draw the wall after inserting the length in mm (fig. 11).

(fig. 9)

(fig. 10)

(fig. 11)

Once the wall has been drawn, the cursor shows the latest angle set and the next wall will be inclined (fig. 12). To use the orthogonal function again, make right click to cancel the command (fig. 13).

(fig. 13)

Triangulation method

In this case, during the construction of the wall, it is necessary to insert the length of the out-of-square wall using the keyboard (4000 mm in the example shown in fig. 14) and, separated by a coma, the distance between the final point of the out-of-square wall and the initial point of the previous wall (fig. 15) on which you can click once you have pressed enter on the keyboard and clicked on OK to confirm the command (figg. 16-18).
