- SETWZ Menu: WALLS
- ==============================================================================
- Sets the active width and height for subsequently created walls.
-
- 1. (NUM) width of wall (l/r)
- 2. (NUM) height of wall (z1,z2)
-
- Description:
- This command sets the width and height of walls. The width is given by two
- values indicating the distance of the two wall faces from the wall-axis. They
- should be given for the left (`l') face and right (`r') face respectively,
- relative to the direction of the wall (from starting point). A negative value
- will create a face to the left of the axial line, and a positive value will
- create a face to the right. (The first width is usually negative and the
- second positive.) The two heights (z1 and z2) are the heights above the
- starting and the end points respectively. Any wall subsequently created or
- modified will have these predefined dimensions. Walls may have a constant
- height, or vary their height from the start to the end points by giving
- different values to z1 and z2.
- The wall may be created by using the \wall command.
- If you try to create walls without setting the \setwz values, an appropriate
- error message will be displayed.
-
- Example: \setwz -.1 .15 3 4.5
-
- Result: All new walls will assume a width of 0.25 units (0.1 to the left of
- the axial line, 0.15 to the right of the axial line), and a height of 3 units
- at the starting point and rising to 4.5 units at the end.
