Re: Create a solid Shape
@dorin
"Even old dog learn new tricks"
select the create room icon and click on a wall
I've never know this trick.
Thanks!
That option is available since around 2008 I think, so not that long laughing

Dorin has a point in using different thicknesses of walls instead of all kinds of other tricks. That way you have your solid walls AND they remain wall objects with all their benefits. Connecting walls with different thicknesses can be a little tricky but they don't have to be connected. Simply touching each other is enough to make them look like they are connected. Dorin has created a very nice post explaining measuring with different thicknesses:

In addition to that: two parallel walls that touch look like they are a single wall, you can use that too.
