Indicate Height at start and Height at end in the Modify wall dialogue (double-click the wall or select and use Plan - Modify wall).

Hint - Plan - Split wall divides the wall in two equal parts, useful for gables.

If you intend to use the wall for a staircase or something similar, you may also want to look at a recent blog post on how to create a hole in the bottom of the wall.

You did not understand my question. I mean, that the floor projection (top view) is not rectangular (because o ur house is 183 years old). Therefore, the walls in the square room have not the same lengh. I need to draw them in this software.

Ah - so sorry - but I still do not understand your question. IF you mean the angles of the walls (familiar - my childhood home is 200+ years old), you should try to disable magnetism (either in Preferences or by pressing ALT) when you draw your walls.

But if your house is as skewed as mine, you probably want to enter the co-ordinates manually by editing properties of each wall.

But maybe I am still not getting it?
