Compound Wall Tool

Create multi-leaf wall assemblies with custom layers, gaps, and finishes.

1

Activate

Launch Compound Wall from the LizArk toolbar.

2

Add layers

Define leaves, gaps, materials, and thicknesses.

3

Trace path

Click start and end points to generate the compound wall.

What Compound Wall does

Compound Wall builds multi-leaf wall assemblies - such as brick-cavity-brick, concrete-insulation-finish, or any custom layered composition - in a single chained path. Each leaf is generated as separate geometry so you can assign distinct materials, hide individual layers, or schedule volumes independently.

Layered workflow

  • Open the Compound Wall dialog and add the leaves you need.
  • Set thickness and material for each leaf. Add air gaps or insulation layers as needed.
  • Click a start point and move the cursor to trace the wall path, just like Draw Wall.
  • Chain segments and close rooms the same way as single-leaf walls.

Dialog controls

The dialog lists each leaf from outside to inside. You can insert, remove, or reorder layers, set per-leaf thickness, and pick materials from the project library.

Total thickness updates live as you edit leaves. The tool uses this total for chaining, snapping, and T-junctions.

Tips

Save frequently used compound stacks as presets so you can reuse them across projects.

Compound walls support jump openings: the tool cuts the correct opening through every leaf when you place a door or window.

Use Tag Manager to assign each leaf to a dedicated tag if you need to control visibility later.
