Transition Option<\/h3>

A Transition Option Added to Wall Materials<\/p>\n

Defining wall types can be a very\u00a0time-consuming activity while designing a house, and, if a wall definition contains a material such as a brick ledge, even more time is spent creating new wall definitions simply to change the height of that one particular material.<\/p>\n

One of SoftPlan 2018\u2019s most time-saving additions is a new \u201ctransition\u201d option that is available in the Wall Definition menu. This option provides a convenient method for specifying varying heights for transition materials within a single wall definition and eliminates the need to define multiple walls when the heights of a material should change.<\/p>\n

A simple Wall edit allows you to control the height and slope of the transition material so that you can achieve a wide variety of constructions.<\/p>\n

This is very useful for stepping walls or sloping the material to follow the grade.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
