About Extracting Walls

When you extract a wall from a space, stairwell, elevator, or shaft, there are points to consider about the Wall Extraction feature.

When you extract a wall, you can:

  • Extract internal and external walls.
  • Move the extracted wall using the Robot.
  • Edit the wall although you cannot change the wall direction of an extracted wall.
  • Copy the wall to another story.
  • Delete the wall.
  • Replace the missing wall from the space, stairwell, shaft, or elevator.

Note: In Building Estimator, the system includes the wall area and volume of all walls, including extracted walls. The system counts the area and volume of overlapping walls only once.
