Dragging layers with the shape handle
TIP If you join 2 walls and they both have a vertical extension, the extended portions will be horizontally joined.
The extension joins must be the same, top-to-top or bottom-to-bottom.
Constraining Region Distance
Select a horizontal border between regions. A control arrow displays. Click the control arrow to alternate
the constraint distance from the top or the bottom.
Split Region Command
When editing vertically compound walls , the Split Region command divides a wall layer (or regions)
horizontally or vertically into new regions. When you split a region, the new regions assume the same
material as the original.
■ To split a layer or region horizontally, highlight one of the borders. A preview split line displays when
you highlight a border.
Horizontal split preview
After you split a region or layer horizontally, select the border between the regions. A temporary dimension
displays between the border and the top or bottom of the wall. There is also a blue control arrow; if you
click the arrow, it toggles the reference for the temporary dimension between the top and bottom of the
wall.
