With this command you can produce in the drawing cross sections of walls which have been previously saved with the Wall manager.
Dialog box Apply wall
db_ath_wall_use
A description of the dialog box sections Selection and the graphical preview can be found in the Chapter Object selection.
Dialog box section Apply
New Creates a new wall. For this, the Dialog box Wall parameters is opened, where you can define further settings before the wall is inserted.
Update Updates an existing wall cross section, the properties of which have been changed.
Walls can only be updated if they have been inserted into the drawing with the command Apply wall, because only these walls are linked to the saved library object.
Walls, which have been generated with the Wall command, are not referenced to saved objects and cannot therefore be updated.
