LT2022 Walls command?

[debbiebasta]

Does Autocad LT 2022 allow you to draw walls using a wall command verses a line command?  What does Autocad Architecture include that AutocadLT does not??  Trying to sort out the differences.  Thanks!

Walls!

If you want to create 3D walls in plain AutoCAD try the following.

Give the thickness command and enter a value for the wall HEIGHT not thickness (e.g., 96)!

Now give the pline command then the first point of the wall, follow this with the wall starting width (e.g., 6) and ending width (6 again). Now you can continue adding wall corners.  For best viewing results go to an non-orthogonal view (e.g., isometric).

Command: THICKNESS
Enter new value for THICKNESS <0.0000>: 96
Command: PLINE
Specify start point:
Current line-width is 0.0000
Specify next point or [Arc/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]: w
Specify starting width <0.0000>: 6
Specify ending width <6.0000>:
Specify next point or [Arc/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]:
Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]:

When doing architectural drawing vs general drafting, using AutoCAD Architecture is a huge step up in productivity, similar to the productivity increases when using Revit.  ACA has wall, door, window, stair, roof, roofslab, slab, railing, curtainwall, ceiling, column, furniture, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and other AEC model objects that have the ability to display themselves in different ways (plan, elevation, model, section).  Material hatch, scheduling, annotation, dimensioning, and annotation are automated or semiautomated.  Rendering is facilitated.  Sheet set management, including placing views on sheets is also more easily managed.  Downside is that both ACA and Revit require significant efforts to learn and to master.  Modifying object styles can be challenging.  But the program can result in an immediate productivity boost even if you only use the plan generation features and detailing features.

Also, if you're on AutoCAD subscription, all the toolsets are available to use.

@debbiebasta No. Any reason you do not wish to use AutoCADARCHITECTURE?
Are you not aware it is free with any AutoCAD current subscription https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/included-toolsets/autocad-architecture

Use the correct software all the time.

I just got the subscription to autocad lt this weekend. How is the Autocad
Architecture accessed through the autocad lt program?

Architecture, the program? The Toolset??

Not purchased, not available.

@debbiebasta LT subscribers are not AUTOCAD subscribers: you id not read that like carefully, it never mentions LT so you do not get access to the verticals like ARCHITECTURE.
You are also posting in the wrong forum for LT , so I will ask to have your post moved to the LT user forum. That forum is over here https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt/ct-p/2000

LT has DLINE command: look up usage in HELP, two "dumb" unconnected parallel lines you can call "walls" or "ducts" or "road" or just about anything from any industry that has a two-parallel lines needed for graphical representation.

Are you trying to create 3D drawings? LT is also the wrong program for that. Sorry.
