Walls & Compound Walls

TurboCAD® Pro Platinum provides the tools to quickly design floorplans by using the wall tool. Self-healing straight or curved walls speed design over conventional drafting tools. Cleaning up intersections, moving walls, adding columns, windows, doors, and more is tedious with standard double lines, but not with the Wall tool. And because the walls have height, and with both bottom and top wall modifiers for custom shapes, the full 3D design is quickly underway.

Not only do walls heal properly and automatically at intersections, but tops of walls now automatically modify when changing a roof slope. Walls are easily moved, cut, have openings inserted, and through the styles manager, may be made into compound walls with different wall styles selected. This adds appropriate hatches and fills, line weights, colors, and more for each layer of the wall. Different styles may be made for interior, exterior, load-bearing, non-load-bearing, or any other type of wall you design.


Polylines may be converted to walls, and then styles applied, to quickly modify or start a project. Blocks, whether standard, imported, or created on-the-fly, may be inserted into walls, and the walls will heal and automatically align the blocks.

As an integrated set of architectural tools, the walls also treat parametric AEC Door and AEC Window objects accurately and heal correctly, and now with version 18, dimensions display as doors and windows are inserted showing the distance to and from the wall ends for easier, more precise placement. Walls also share information with the Roof and Slab tools for auto-generation of correct dimensions and roof lines.

Because the walls are AEC objects recognized by AutoCAD® object enablers for AutoCAD Architecture, a project with self-healing walls started in TurboCAD Pro will continue to be self-healing in AutoCAD, making even the AutoCAD experience better as well.
