Oval Wall

[chunky2k]

Dear all

am trying to draw an oval-shaped-wall

you can check the attachment

the Pick like order is not picking the line

using the Arc (any type) is not working

is there a way to do it ?

This will give you a "true ellipse" and walls can be applied to the face, but it may be difficult to dimension or layout in the field.

I have had to create one "elipitical" room in my work as an Architect and I did it using a "constructed ellipse".  One method to construct and appromixate ellipse can be found here.

You could construct the elliptical room like this with lines and then use the "pick line" method of wall placement to place the walls at the lines.  This method will give you 4 arc segments which can be dimensioned with a center point and raduis so the walls can be laid out in the field.

Either approach will probably work.  You might have to try both and see which one will work best in your situation.
