Height/Depth of Walls

When you create a wall (an architectural wall or a structural wall), you can specify the following properties on the Options Bar:

• Level (for 3D views)
• Depth/Height
• Top Constraint
• Unconnected Height

Together with Base Constraint, these properties control whether the wall is drawn from a specified level upwards or downwards, the height of the wall, and whether its height will change when its base constraint or top constraint moves.

When you create a wall in a plan view, the Base Constraint is the level associated with the view. When you create a wall in a 3D view, use Level on the Options Bar to specify the level to use for the wall's Base Constraint value.

The following image shows a section view of 4 walls created using different height/depth settings with a Base Constraint of L-1 (Level 1). The table below shows the properties of each wall.
