If you are creating a single Roof, you must first draw a pivot line and define the pitch before creating the polygon with the Magic Wand.If Offset or Multi-Offset has been activated, you can complete the offset function after the Magic Wand has created the new polygon.If the original shapes are superfluous, you can delete them.The new elements are not linked to the originals and can be manipulated independently.In this case, the Magic Wand will only take the selected elements into account when searching for chained elements or a bounded area. You can refine the Magic Wand function by selecting one or more elements.If you click in empty space or on a surface, the Magic Wand searches for and traces the closed geometric area formed by the nearest elements (whether chained together or merely intersecting), and generates the resulting polygon.įor example, activate the Fill tool, then click with the Magic Wand inside the empty area denoted by the curved line, to create a Fill of that shape.If you click on an edge or node, the Magic Wand creates a polygon by tracing that element and/or finding an element chain: it runs along that edge and traces the element chains whose endpoints fall within that edge.įor example, activate the Roof tool (Multi-plane method) and click with the Magic Wand on the edge of the Wall to instantly create a Roof that matches the Wall polygon.It will automatically find and trace a polygon shape. The Magic Wand has three different shapes for identifying:ģ. Choose Design > Outline Polygon with Magic Wand.Note: The Control Box is not visible by default. Click the Magic Wand icon in the Control Box.Activate the Magic Wand by doing one of the following: From the Toolbox, select the type of the new element you want to create.Ģ.

CREATE SHAPE MAGIC WAND HOW TO
How to Create an Element with the Magic Wand The Magic Wand recognizes elements that are locked, displayed from remote stories or a Trace Reference, reserved by others or outside your workspace. (In Section/Elevation/IE and 3D Document windows, the Magic Wand recognizes only 2D drawing-type elements).
CREATE SHAPE MAGIC WAND WINDOWS
The Magic Wand works in both the 2D and 3D Windows and recognizes the following element types: Wall, Beam, Slab, Roof, Curtain Wall, Morph, Fill, Mesh, Line, Arc, Polyline, and Spline. When creating curved Walls and polygon-type elements based on Arcs, Circles and Splines, the approximation is defined in Magic Wand Settings. Since it creates polygonal shapes by nature, the Magic Wand will ignore geometry method settings (such as Rotated Rectangle) for the current tool.
The Magic Wand lets you create special shapes that are not available for that particular tool type or would be tedious to construct segment by segment.
The Magic Wand saves you work by finding and tracing a linear or polygon shape from among existing elements, and then generating a new element based on the polygon.
