lponesse Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I am struggling with drawing out a wall with the wall tool, and I am trying to move them without manipulating the walls in any way. How can I just select the walls that I have drawn and move them where I need them to be? Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 try grouping the walls and moving them as a group. if the walls are connected and they are affecting the other walls, turn off the connected walls mode (toolbar) Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) If it's not to far I use the nudge command for say short distances for as single wall that's adjoining another wall Edited March 18, 2019 by Phil hunt Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Unless you have set your preferences correctly, nudge is not an accurate way to move things Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 That's told me then !!!! Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I didn't mean to tell you off. Nudge usually movies one pixel at a time. this translated to different dimensions depending on the zoom. if you set your preferences, you can set up the nudge to be a specific amount, when used with the shift + ctrl +arrow keys Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Hey @Jonathan Pickup ! I alway just select the wall & choose to Move (Command M) then type in the amount to move the wall by. The other thing that (mostly) works for me is if I have constrained Dimensions (as I often do) I find it super easy (mostly) to edit the values of the chain dimensions & it works really well. We have finished a couple of Dr Offices & the client is often changing the size of the exam rooms (even after construction has started) and using constrained dims makes this pretty bullet proof (as long as you check for PEBDAK's*) * Problem Exists Between Desk And Keyboard Edited March 19, 2019 by Jim Smith Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I thought of the move too, but I thought the original question was more about dragging a few walls together Quote Link to comment
