Setting the Current Wall Type

You can use this command to select or define a wall type that you wish to use.

\setmw

You can define the wall type using three methods:

By entering the system name in the command line

By indicating a sample wall

By accessing the dialog box of wall libraries

After selecting / defining the wall, the system transfers you to Create a wall (\mwall) where you can specify the first and subsequent points for the wall.

The specified wall type is used for all walls until you set a new type.

Wall Library Dialog Box

All functions to manage the wall library are included in this dialog box:
