Double Exterior Walls Points To New Way Of Setting Wall Parameters
In this age of moving to superinsulated buildings, it is important to be able to automatically draw a double wall system with two different wall thickness at the same time. It would require that the program allow the user to select what kind of wall at the outset and set all the parameters for it before proceeding with the creation phase.
My suggestion would be that the program allow for context-sensitive menu bars. When selecting the wall creation mode, the menu shows a drop down to change wall type (and therefore wall pattern, ie. wood stud, concrete block,etc.), stud spacing or block length, thickness, and whether or not there is a second wall and the similar settings for it. At this point, all walls would be created that same way until changed.
This option does not show up on the menu bar in any other mode. Selection mode would only have a context menu option to make changes.
Further, walls should be measured and placed from the exterior side and not the center point
