Editing walls with the Edit wall dialog

  • Updated

The Edit wall dialog gives you full control over a wall's dimensions and positioning. Dragging a wall in the workspace is quick, but when you need exact values or want to decide how a change affects the rest of your layout, this is the place to do it.
 

 

In the dialog, you can:

  • Set the wall's exact length, depth, and height.
  • Choose which end of the wall moves when you change its length.
  • Choose which side of the wall grows or shrinks when you change its depth.
  • Keep the angles with adjacent walls unchanged while you resize.
  • Apply a height change to every wall in the workspace at once.
  • Separate a wall from the walls it touches.

This article explains how to open the dialog and what each setting does, so you can make precise changes with predictable results.

 

How the Edit wall dialog works

  1. Select the wall you want to edit.
     
  2. Press the spacebar. The Edit wall dialog opens.
     
  3. Change the fields you need, then click Apply. The dialog closes, and your changes take effect immediately.

 

What can I edit in the Edit wall dialog?

General settings
These settings control how the wall behaves when you change its length.

  • Move end
    When selected, the change in length is applied to the wall's end, which is the end the arrow points to.
  • Fixed angle
    When selected, changing the wall's length does not alter its angles with adjacent walls.
     

Length
Shows the wall's current length. Enter a new value to change it.
 

Depth
Shows the wall's current depth. Enter a new value to change it.
 

Depth direction
Controls which side of the wall changes when you modify its depth.

  • Inner
    The depth change is applied to the wall's inner side.
     
  • Outer
    The depth change is applied to the wall's outer side.
     

Height
Shows the wall's current height. Enter a new value to change it.
 

Height to all walls
Select this option to apply the new height to all walls in the workspace.
 

Unpin walls
Separates the wall from the walls it touches. Contiguous walls become freestanding walls.

 

Note! In addition to the Edit wall dialog, the workspace provides other tools for editing room walls. Learn more in Customize room walls.
