5. Now select Walls, and then click the Current button. This makes the layer current (i.e., the working layer), because the next lines you draw will be the interior walls. When done, the dialog box should look like the figure below.
6. Close the dialog box by clicking the OK button. 7. On the Entity Properties toolbar, notice that the Layer Control displays “Walls.”
Assigning Entities to Different Layers Currently, all the lines, which represent exterior walls, are on layer 0. They really should be on layer ‘Walls’. Follow these steps to assign entities to different layers. 1. Press Ctrl+A to select all entities in the drawing. Notice that they are highlighted by dashed lines and green grips. 2. From the Layer Control, select “Walls.”
And you’re done. Ja, it’s that easy. Adding Interior Lines With the layers set up, you can now draw the interior walls. The technique is the same as for the exterior walls: draw one side of the wall with the Line command, and then draw the other side with the Offset command. Finally, clean up intersections with the Trim command.
