Specifying the number of segments for curved walls

In earlier Allplan versions, a curved component, such as a Curved Wall, always consisted of 40 (or 80 for inside and outside) polyline segments (based on the curved wall segment created). In other words, a wall describing a quarter circle or a full circle consisted of 40 polyline segments each.

Allplan 2013:
Wall describing a full circle with a large radius; wall describing a semi circle with a small radius

You can now specify how many polyline segments are used to create the curved wall. This setting is always based on a full circle. As a result, an adjacent room will always adapt accurately to the curved wall even after modifications. Another advantage is that resulting curved walls are smoother.

In addition to Wall, this applies to all linear components, such as Downstand Beam, Upstand Beam or Strip Foundation.

Note: Curved components from earlier versions retain the number of segments with which they were created. If you create new curved walls based on the parameters of old ones, Allplan applies the new logic.
