Reversing the Direction of a Wall
Use this procedure to change the direction in which a wall is drawn by reversing the start point and the endpoint of
the wall. Walls are drawn from the first specified point to the last point. Some commands and properties are affected
by that order. For example, you can add wall modifiers to the left or right side of a wall. Left and right sides are west
and east, respectively, when a wall is drawn from south to north, regardless of how the wall is displayed in the current
view.
There are 2 different ways to reverse the wall direction. When you reverse a wall in-place, the wall position in the
drawing does not change; only the wall direction changes, and the wall baseline is switched in the drawing but not in
relation to the wall components. This method of reversing walls is common when you create walls from scratch and
do not want to change their physical position in the drawing.
When you reverse the wall baseline, the wall position in the drawing changes, but the baseline position in the drawing
remains the same. You would use this method when creating walls from polylines or spaces; in this case the baseline
position can be important geometry that you do not want to change.
To determine the direction in which a wall was drawn, select the wall. The Reverse Direction grip shows the orientation
of the wall. For more information about wall grips, see “
Using Grips to Edit Walls
” on page 657.
To reverse the wall direction in place:
1
Select the wall, right-click, and click Reverse
➤
In Place.
The outside faces of the wall remain in place, and the baseline shifts, if necessary.
To reverse the wall baseline:
1
Select the wall, right-click, and click Reverse

Baseline.
The position of the baseline in the drawing remains in place, and the wall shifts, if necessary.
Using AutoCAD Commands to Edit Walls
You can use the following standard AutoCAD commands to edit walls:
■
