1.5  Addwall 


We could  edit the crossing  of two walls , intersecting at any angle or apper to intersect ,with addwall command.
1. We can access it at command prompt by typing it 
2. We pick following icon  from the construct toolbar 
3. By selecting it in construct popup menu


As we select the addwall from menu we get following prompt on screen:
 Select the first wall : ( We select the first wall to be edit if we editing an “tee” we should select the smaller wall.)
 Select the second wall : ( We select the second wall to be edit if we editing an “tee” we should select the bigger wall. )
After selecting the these two wall we get an wall editor dialog box . In this dialog we have four option for edition of intersecting wall & appear to intersect wall

Walls are edited in both 2d and 3d therefore saving the time in trimming and filleting in convention editing of two parallel lines in AutoCAD. The other advantage of using addwall command is that new handles is given to the additional walls generated in this operation. thus making new walls understandable to custom.CAD database system..


The wall editor dialog box resemble to this figure:
