Breaking a Wall

With Architect 3D, it’s easy it easy to fine tune your rooms, adding an inset, for example.

Breaking walls is useful for removing a wall section or creating separate surfaces for applying different colors and materials. When a wall includes a break, you can select the segments separately to delete, reshape, or resize the wall segments. When a color, material, or trim is applied to a segment, it is applied to only one segment.

In the example to the right, a wall break was used to break a single wall segment and then resize one of the new segments to create a half way between two room.
