How to draw a façade run. A step-by-step walkthrough of the screens, buttons and fields involved.

The steps, written out

  1. Choose the Façade run tool (R).
  2. Click points along the façade on the plan. Hold Shift to lock angles; hold Alt to turn snapping off.
  3. Double-click or press Enter to finish (Esc cancels). A run needs at least two points.
  4. Set its properties in the left panel: System, Load class, heights, decks, ties, bracing and access.

Tip

The scaffold (standards, ledgers, decks, guardrails, ties, braces) is generated automatically from the façade line.
