If the wall is placed incorrectly (exterior side inwards) in conversion, edit the rule and select Mirror. Convert the objects again.
In conversion, the program aims to connect the walls to the surrounding walls, if it is possible to create the connection. You can prenvent this by selecting Disable automatic connections.
Select how to position the converted wall. From the Reference line list, select whether the walls are aligned according to the interior or exterior surface.
If necessary, you can move the converted wall outwards by the distance entered in the Offset field.
