Create clean corners and wall intersections using intelligent cleanup tools.
Transcript
00:03
In the AutoCAD Architecture toolset, you have access to an assortment of wall cleanup tools.
00:08
To begin, create a few walls in your drawing.
00:12
To do this, from the Tool Palettes, Design tab, click Wall.
00:17
Place a wall by picking a starting and ending point.
00:20
Place a second wall as a continuous extension of the first.
00:25
With two walls placed, on your keyboard, press ENTER to end the command.
00:30
Then, place another wall.
00:32
Right-click in the drawing area and from the shortcut menu, select Repeat WALLADD.
00:38
Place this third wall perpendicular to the first continuous wall but not intersecting.
00:44
Place a fourth wall as if to form a corner with the first wall, but again, do not intersect the two walls.
00:52
With the walls placed, you can now use cleanup tools to join them.
00:56
Select the initial wall, and then from the ribbon, Wall tab, expand the Cleanup drop-down and select Join.
01:03
The continuous wall that once was comprised of two separate wall segments is now a singular wall object.
01:10
Now, from the ribbon, Cleanup panel, select Intelligent Cleanup.
01:16
From the command line, select L-Cleanup.
01:20
Then, in the drawing area, select the last wall placed that almost forms a corner with the continuous wall.
01:27
Notice that the continuous wall extends to meet the selected wall.
01:32
You can create filleted corners from two walls as well.
01:37
Undo the last wall cleanup by pressing CTRL+Z on your keyboard.
01:42
Then, on the ribbon, Home tab, Modify panel, select Fillet.
01:47
Then, select both walls that previously formed a corner.
01:51
You can also use cleanup tools to create a T-intersection.
01:56
In the drawing area, select the continuous wall.
01:60
From the ribbon, select Intelligent Cleanup again.
02:03
Because T-cleanup is active by default, the perpendicular, disconnected wall extends to meet the continuous wall.
02:11
With AutoCAD’s cleanup tools, you can easily clean up wall intersections that always result in clean corners.
