Match all

You can use this tool to match an existing object style.
To select the facade, you can click any of its elements.

Retrieve facade favorites

You can use this tool to open the Facade Favorites dialog box.

Scheme settings

You can use this tool to open the Scheme dialog box, where you can specify a scheme for the facade.

Object layout settings

You can use this tool to open the Object Layout dialog box, where you can specify how the objects are arranged.

Subdivision settings

You can use this tool to open the Subdivision dialog box, where you can make subdivision settings.

Object definitions

You can use this tool to open the Objects dialog box, where you can define object styles.

Facade path

Facade wall

You can use this tool to extrude the path entered. This produces a linear facade.

Facade face

You can use this tool to extrude the path entered. This produces a two-dimensional facade.

Straight component

The current curve of the path is a line.

Curved component

The current curve of the path is a circle.

Polyline-based component

The current curve of the path is a polyline.

Spline-based component

The current curve of the path is a polyline.

If you have not yet selected an object style, only the grid of the facade is drawn.

Curve properties

Curve number

The current curve number is displayed while you are entering a path.
When you choose Modify, you can use the arrows next to Curve to select the curve number you want to modify (provided there are several curves).

Reverse

You can use this tool to alternate the position of the facade relative to the path / surface (left/right).

Height

Enter the (extrusion) height of the path.

Angle

Enter the (extrusion) angle of the path.

Undo point

You can use this tool to undo every path point entered in reverse order.

Finish curve

You can use this tool to complete a curve and start a new one without having to quit entering points. The individual curves of a path can be of different Height and Angle. You can change the curve type at any time (even while entering points) until you finish the curve.

Settings

You can use this tool to open the Settings dialog box, where you can make more settings for facades.

Modification tools

Modify

You can use this tool to modify an existing facade.
After you have selected a facade, it is displayed in preview mode and can be modified.

Modify points of curve/path

You can use this tool to move the path points of the facade. This tool functions in the same way as Stretch Entities. To quit the tool, click Apply or Cancel.

Add points to curve

You can use this tool to add path points. This tool functions in the same way as Fold Line. To quit the tool, click Apply or Cancel.

Modify lower/upper height

You can use this tool to move the extrusion points of the path. To quit the tool, click Apply or Cancel.

Import tools

Convert 3D object to facade and subdivide facade

You can use this tool to import an Allplan 3D surface as a facade face.

Convert facade to 3D object

You can use this tool to convert facades to 3D objects. You can then change the geometry of the 3D objects using suitable tools. To quit the tool, click Apply or Cancel.
