Lesson 16: Creating the Walls

You are now ready to create walls to go underneath your roof with the arched cutouts. The Cube primitive will be the basis of your walls.

To create the walls:

1. On the Create Palette, click the Create Cube icon.
   
   A cube appears in your scene.
2. Click the family color button to access the Family dialog box.
3. Change its color to an unused color and type the word Wall in the text entry field.
   
   The family color is changed.
   
   
4. Look at your scene from Top View by choosing the Control Palette, View Options menu > From Top.
   
   The scene changes to top view.
   
   

TIP: Another way to change to top view is to use a keyboard shortcut. Press the number 2 key. (or ~ for Director's View, 1 for Camera View, 2 for Top View, 3 for From Right, and 4 for From Front).
