Aligning a Wall to a Junction

Scroll Prev Top Next More

If you add your walls to your layout, using the DXF/DWG lines in your base plan to align them, and then stamp Junctions into your layout, the i-Lines in your walls will extend and snap to the Junction. If you follow this work flow, your Junctions should be aligned. However, in some cases your Junctions may become misaligned.

 

If you stamp a Junction into your layout, and then snap walls to it, your walls may not be properly aligned with the Junction snap points. Additionally, if you modify a layout that includes Junctions, including move and copy/paste, you may have to realign your walls and Junctions. To realign Junctions and walls, you can use the Align tool. If you have already snapped your i-Lines to a Junction, and the i-Lines are not properly aligned or connected, Notification 635 appears.
