Standard-Case Walls

Standard-case walls have one uniform component and its representation can be a solid color fill, a hatch, or a combination of the two. The geometry can be rectangular, with a constant thickness from start to end point, or polygonal, with variable thickness from start to end.

Basic walls automatically join to other basic walls, regardless of thickness and fill, unless the joints are disabled in the Settings window.
