Screens as Wing-WallsScreens can also get Auto-Detected by Hero as Wing-Walls when they lie Perpendicular to a Wall. For more details see: Wing Walls |

Modelling Screens over Multiple LevelsCurrently if a Screen’s Height is such that it stretches across multiple Levels, it must be modelled separately on each Level with the Total & Top Heights adjusted as required relative to each Level. In future versions of Hero, we will move to make Screens Level-Independent and allow Levels whose heights are sufficient to project into other Levels shown so that you don’t need to duplicate Screens across multiple levels (see our Trello Features Roadmap for further details). |
...
Screens are created using the Screen Drawing mode (Screen & Eave Drawing Modes)
...
Attaching / Connecting to Walls
...
There are a variety of ways to Attach a Screen to a Wall which are detailed further in the Attach Drawing Mode section of Screen & Eave Drawing Modes
...
Connection Lines
...
When a Screen & Wall are Connected, a Connection Line is shown between them on the Visual View, and the Wall is added as a row within the Screen Data-Grid.
