Note: Hold down the Shift key at the same time of drawing a wall to ensure that it snaps to a vertical or horizontal position on sheet. Before placing wall in position, use the key combination Ctrl + W to toggle between the wall edges and wall axis. This lets you define which wall edge you wish to place e.g. the inside edge of wall, centre line of wall or outside edge of wall. Try pressing this key combination a few times to see the effect on screen. When you have reached correct wall length, left-click to set the end point of wall. Repeat these steps to continue drawing vertical and horizontal walls. With snap on by default, the wall will attach itself to existing wall. The wall corners will form automatically.
