Wall context menu
The right-click and long-press menu on a wall — Split, Duplicate, Properties, and Delete.
Right-click a wall on desktop, or long-press a wall on mobile, to open the wall context menu. It carries the quick actions that don't have a dedicated toolbar button — splitting a wall into two, duplicating it, opening properties on mobile, and deleting.
How to open the menu
- Desktop: right-click anywhere on a wall (including its endpoint).
- Mobile: long-press on the wall. The browser's default right-click menu is suppressed so you get the app menu instead.
If the wall you click on is already part of a multi-selection, the menu preserves the group and leads with Duplicate Selection (N items) before the wall-specific entries. If the wall isn't part of the current selection, clicking it selects just that wall.
Menu entries
| Entry | What it does |
|---|---|
| Split Wall | Splits the wall into two segments at the click position. The two new walls inherit the original wall's thickness, height, and exterior flag. (The Existing flag is not carried over — both new segments start as "new construction." Re-flag them as Existing on the wall properties if needed.) Use this when you need to put an opening or a fixture rough-in at a point that should also be a wall corner. |
| Duplicate Wall | Drops a copy of the wall nearby. The copy uses the same start/end direction and length and lands offset from the original so you can see both. |
| Properties (mobile only) | Opens the full properties panel for the wall. Desktop already shows it in the right-rail entity panel, so this entry isn't shown on desktop. |
| Delete Wall | Removes the wall from the room. Any openings hosted on the deleted wall are removed with it, and undo brings the wall and its openings back together in one step. |
Multi-select behaviour
When the wall you right-click is part of a multi-selection (you've clicked it after holding Ctrl, or it's inside a rect-select group):
- The menu prepends Duplicate Selection (N items) so you can copy the whole group.
- Delete removes every entity in the selection as one undo step. Pressing
Ctrl+Zonce restores the entire group together — you don't have to undo each item individually.
Tips
- Splitting a wall is the path to placing two openings on a single straight run with different widths or sill heights — split first, place each opening on its respective segment.
- A split-and-delete-one-side is a fast way to shorten a wall when you know exactly where it should end. Drag works too, but split-then-delete is exact.
- The Delete-cascades-openings behaviour means you can't accidentally orphan a door or window. If a door looks like it disappeared after a wall delete, it's because the door was hosted on that wall — undo brings both back together.
