Build-upAU
Draws the layers of a wall, floor or roof in one go, such as plaster, masonry, insulation and render, each a band of its thickness with its material's hatch. Soft insulation is drawn with its loop line. It stays one element: the inspector changes its layers.
How it works
- Click the points of the path the layers start from, such as the face of the cut wall, or type them; U takes a point back, and Enter ends the path. E instead lays it along a straight edge you click.
- Click the side the layers go to. The first layer lies against the path, the others follow outwards. The tool stays on for the next build-up.
