Draw Arcs

 
     

To draw an arc:

  1. In a sketch, click the Draw button in the toolbar at the top or choose the Draw panel at the right side of the screen to enter Draw Mode.

  2. Draw an exterior wall segment that matches the diameter of the arc in length. For instance, if the diameter of the arc is 10 feet, you'd draw a line of 10 feet in length.
  3. Next, to apply the arc, do one of the following:
    • Hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and press the arrow key on your keyboard corresponding to the direction you wish to arc the line.
    • Click and hold the center point of the line and drag it in the direction you wish to bend the arc.
  4. Watch the angle designated by the red numbers and the radius of the arc as designated by the numbers along the dotted lines. When the arc closely approximates the desired arc, click the Modify button in the main toolbar.
  5. Now, click the green point at the open end of the arc and drag it slowly to extend or rotate the arc until it fits the exact shape you need.
