Description

The Arch MergeWalls tool merges Arch Walls.

Usage

1. Do one of the following:
   • Select a single wall with one or more additions that are also walls.
   • Select two or more walls.
2. In both cases the walls must have the same DataHeight, DataWidth and DataAlign properties.
3. Select the Utils → Merge Walls option from the 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])
