Updating the Offset of a Wall

Move an existing wall by a specified offset.

\uwofs

This command operates on:

A single wall

A selected group of walls

All walls

$image\ebx_1693072387.gif$ NOTE To operate on a selection group, select the walls to be moved before using this command.

Choose the method of offset:

by alignment

by order of layers

This is critical when you execute the command on several walls that are not parallel to each other. Each wall may be aligned differently.

By Alignment

The walls move by the specified offset in the direction established from the alignment of the wall to the indicated direction point irrespective of the order of layers.

By Order of Layers

The wall moves by the specified offset in the direction established from the first layer of the wall to the indicated direction point, irrespective of the alignment.

Specify the new offset of the wall. If you are moving a single wall, indicate the wall. If you are moving a selection group or all walls, indicate a reference wall in order to specify a direction point relative to that wall.

Indicate a direction point for the move.

Openings and T-junctions are moved together with the wall. All corners and T-junctions are resolved by the current default solution. If you execute this command on several walls at angles to each other, the walls are shortened or lengthened appropriately at the corners.

If the alignment is currently located at the center of the wall, the wall does not move. To change the alignment see Changing the alignment of existing walls (\ualgn).

$image\ebx_1693072387.gif$ NOTE The operation does not affect wall arcs. Openings in the updated walls may not maintain their relative positions to each other. Check that there are no openings or T-junctions within the part of the wall that is shortened by this command. Erase the openings or T-junctions from these areas before execution.
