Wall Constraints

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to set a constraint on a wall to be along the X-axis or Y-axis? I find walls which are not straight many times, which has an angle of less than one degree, probably me being sloppy. Is there any way to mark a set of walls and tell them that they must be along some axis?

No, you have to model them correctly in the first place. Be sure to use the shift key or a guideline to constrain - not simply clicking in space or assuming that a convenient snap point will result in a perfectly orthogonal wall.

There was a long discussion concerning this some time back. May be helpful.

Archicad Guru Link commented on a solution HERE and loaded an object to the Object Depository HERE which will check walls for orthogonal-ness. Maybe give it a go. It will at least find any other walls which may be out of square, which could be part of the problem.

That label is fantastic for QA! Thanks for linking it

Thanks but it was James Murray who coded it! I just had the idea.

Cheers,
