Description

The MergeWalls tool fuses two or more selected Arch Walls.

Usage

  1. Select two or more walls. The walls must have the same height, width and alignment.
  2. Press the button, or use the ArchUtilities Merge Walls from the top menu.

Notes

  • Arch Add can merge walls even if they have different heights, widths and alignments.

Scripting

See also: Arch API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

This tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:

base = joinWalls(walls, delete=False)

Example:

import FreeCAD, Draft, Arch

p1 = FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = FreeCAD.Vector(2000, 0, 0)
baseline = Draft.makeLine(p1, p2)
Wall1 = Arch.makeWall(baseline, length=None, width=150, height=2000)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()

Wall2 = Arch.makeWall(None, length=2000, width=200, height=1000)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute() 

base = Arch.joinWalls([Wall1, Wall2])
