Draw a wall

A wall is a line of points with a thickness. Floorkit makes the solid, and it joins the wall to the walls that it touches.

Before you start

You have a session from Start a building.

Add a straight wall

This garden wall goes from [0, 7] to [6, 7]. It is 6 metres long and 0.2 metres thick.

import type { BuildingSession } from '@opengeometry/floorkit';

export function drawWall(session: BuildingSession): void {
  session.apply(
    {
      kind: 'create-wall',
      buildingId: 'building',
      storeyId: 'ground',
      wall: {
        id: 'garden-wall',
        points: [
          [0, 7],
          [6, 7],
        ],
        thickness: 0.2,
      },
    },
    session.revision,
  );
}

Add a closed room

A wall can have more than two points. Set closed: true and Floorkit adds the last segment back to the first point. This room is 6 by 4 metres. The other guides add a door, a window, a floor and a roof to it.

export function drawRoom(session: BuildingSession): void {
  session.apply(
    {
      kind: 'create-wall',
      buildingId: 'building',
      storeyId: 'ground',
      wall: {
        id: 'room-walls',
        points: [
          [0, 0],
          [6, 0],
          [6, 4],
          [0, 4],
        ],
        closed: true,
        thickness: 0.2,
      },
    },
    session.revision,
  );
}

Rules

Points are [x, z] in metres, seen from above.
Do not repeat the first point to close a wall. Use closed: true.
The wall height is the storey height. Set height to change it.
The points are on the centre line of the wall. Set locationLine to put them on a face.
The id must be unique in the model.
Walls on the same storey join where they meet: at corners, at T-junctions and at crossings.

Remove a wall

export function removeWall(session: BuildingSession): void {
  session.apply(
    { kind: 'delete-wall', buildingId: 'building', storeyId: 'ground', wallId: 'garden-wall' },
    session.revision,
  );
}

Add a door

Cut a door into the room.

Move and reshape

Move a wall point after you draw the wall.
