Drawing Walls
Drawing Walls
Before placing cabinets, you'll first need to create the room or space you'll be designing.
In Revit, walls define the room and provide the surfaces that cabinets will snap to during placement.
Once the Wall tool is active, click anywhere in your floor plan to define the starting point of the wall.
There are two ways to create the wall length.
The first method is to simply click and drag your mouse to the desired location, then click again to finish the wall.
The second method is to click the starting point and type the desired wall length directly from your keyboard.
If you're working in metric, simply enter the desired dimension, such as 2000 for 2000 millimetres.
If you're working from an imperial drawing or field measurement, you can also type dimensions using feet and inches. For example, entering 80" will create an 80-inch wall, even if your project is using metric units.
Revit automatically converts the measurement for you, allowing you to work comfortably with either measurement system.
Continue drawing walls until you've created the basic outline of the room.
At this stage, the goal is simply to establish the room boundaries—not to create a detailed architectural model.
These walls will provide the reference points that Artcraft cabinets use when snapping into position.
If you need to adjust a wall after it's been created, simply select it and drag either endpoint or use the temporary dimensions to make quick adjustments.
Once your room is complete, you're ready to begin loading and placing Artcraft cabinet families into the project.
