Drawing interior walls is similar to drawing exterior walls. TOTAL for Tablet
PC is optimized for pen-based input, making sketching a breeze. To draw exterior
walls with a pen:
- In a sketch, tap the down arrow beside
the Draw button in the toolbar or select the
Draw panel at the right side of the screen and select
Interior Walls.
- Now, simply draw a line (or several lines) and wait for TOTAL for Tablet
PC to interpret it. Once the interpretation is done, a line appears in your
sketch. Once set, there are several things you can do to adjust the line:
- Adjust Line Length - To adjust the length of the line,
write the length (in feet) over top of the existing length label for the
line. After a moment, TOTAL for Tablet PC automatically converts it to
digital input and resizes the line.
- Adjust Line Angle - If your line intersects with
another line, you can adjust the angle between the two lines by simply
writing the appropriate angle (in degrees) over top of the existing angle
label in your sketch. After a moment, TOTAL for Tablet PC interprets your
handwriting and changes the angle.
- Adjust Line Direction - To do a basic direction
adjustment, write the new direction for the line over top of the line. TOTAL
for Tablet PC recognizes all major compass directions (N, S, E, W, NE, NW,
SE, SW).

Hint: To assist you in notating the
changes in your sketch, TOTAL for Tablet PC support a number of
"gestures" you can draw on your sketch. For instance, to change the
line length, direction, or angle, you can draw a line from the
existing label away from you sketch and write in the new value at the
end of your "call out" line. For |

- Repeat this process for any additional walls.
- As necessary, tap an end point to any line in your sketch (regardless of
whether the area is open or closed) and drag it to adjust your line(s).
