The present tool is not a fully functional and stand-alone instrument. It is just a plugin located at the software's main interface, allowing creating multilayer walls simultaneously for numerous model sites.

The algorithm for using the "Wall layout" tool is as follows:

1. Enable the " Wall layout" tool.
2. Indicate the first starting point.
3. Subsequently indicate the other coordinates defining the shapes of the walls in the plan.
4. To finalize defining the points, press the mouse wheel button or the "Space" key.
5. Press the Esc key to disable the "Wall layout" tool.

As the result, you can see the wall objects, which are split into numerous

Note, that by applying this instrument, you can model unit panels as well as cast in place walls. When modeling monolithic walls, do not unite into a single cast unit all the floor elements, this being an error. Only straight sections can be united into a cast unit.  

 Also, do not consider the junctures, as in the TS junctures are

Thus in the above picture, you can see that every structural element is modeled as a distinct component, though in reality, the whole structure is cast in place.

Note that software creates on its own several components, thus splitting the complex layout of the walls into simple segments. Go to the object's "Properties" menu by double-clicking on it. Add one more layer by enabling the respective menu button.

To apply the updated parameter's values to all the objects, press the "Modify" button. If no objects are selected, the "Modify" button does not work.

Exercise to randomly configure the wall properties on your own.
