Cleaning up Wall Intersections You can specify that walls intersect and clean up only with certain other walls by assigning the walls to a cleanup group. Walls that belong to the same group clean up where they intersect. Walls that belong to different cleanup groups do not clean up where they intersect. You can also specify how walls in externally-referenced (xref) drawings clean up with walls in the host drawing. Wall segments that do and do not clean up Adding Doors,Windows, and Other Objects to Walls When you add doors, windows, door/window assemblies, and openings to a wall, the wall automatically adjusts to accommodate the object and adds endcaps where needed. By default, these objects are anchored to the wall and remain with the wall if you move it. If you remove an object from a wall, the wall repairs itself in the space where the object was located. Workflow Overview: Adding Walls to a Drawing Walls are the basic components of any building plan. In AutoCAD Architecture, powerful modelling capabilities allow you to tailor your walls to a specific use. You can create very simple wall types that rely on standard settings, and add them on the fly. You can also create complex walls with different components, materials, and 2D and 3D endcaps assigned, have detailed cleanup information, and contain interferences with other objects like mass elements. Depending on your needs, creating a wall and its associated styles can consist of very few steps or a number of steps. Some of the components and actions you might use to create a wall in your plan are shown in the following illustrations. Workflow Overview: Adding Walls to a Drawing | 647
