confused Length of a wall in the middle of a wall?

Hello,

probably this is a noob question but I can't figure it out.

In my case I try to create a room and then add the walls.

The room has the length 276cm x 307,5 cm.

But when I try to extend the walls the room shrinks. sad


I see that the walls extends in both directions but I don't see an option to change this.

Thanks in advance.

Thomas

Re: Length of a wall in the middle of a wall?

Assuming I understand... Walls are always determined from their middle point, so if you thicken a wall, it will grow in both directions.

  • You can set Preferences - New wall thickness before you double-click with the room tool to create walls. But that does not work if you want a room with different thickness walls.
  • What is easier, may be to adjust both thickness and position of each wall afterwards to fit the room. (In your ase, the left wall X values should be some -10 cm compared to the original value.)

Hi okh,

thank you for your explanation.
I just thought I'm missing something.

I can't understand this behavior.
Nobody measures the distance inside a wall.

That may be true. But a wall can be measured on the outside or on the inside and therefore have different lengths depending on different wall thicknesses. And which direction should an inner wall grow if thickness is increased? Cannot find the thread off-hand, but in the forum somewhere there is a discussion about this where Puybaret explains why. ok

I don't know if this is a seldom problem.

I have the papers from my architect with exact measures from both sides inside and outside.

That's why this measuring issue in the middle doesn't make sense to me. ;-)
