Removing section of wall?

[Momo1013]

Hello! I recently watched the feature video and discovered the auto wall feature--so neat! decided to use it however I'm running in to a problem where I have puddle shapes that make up pieces of this map and I can't apply walls to them, so now the places where my walled areas and puddle areas intersect are cut off by walls. Is there a way to remove the walls in certain areas? This is also important for adding windows later on.

So it sounds like you right clicked a ground layer and clicked add to wall? This adds a poly wall layer which you can right click and make into a group of walls. If you enter into the group of walls you can move/edit/delete as desired.

You may convert polywall to the group of segments (right click on the layer and choose context action) and remove segments. Then, you may convert set of segments to polywall, gather them to the group and call context action.

I've hit the same issue (trying to remove wall segments after right-click adding a wall).

Trying to build a round tower map, with concentric walls (a circular outer wall with a smaller circular inner wall).

I discovered that right-click-add-wall doesn't give smooth matching walls to ellipses, but figured out I can overcome this by merging the each circular ellipse with another shape via the Union button, before adding the wall.

Then I get stuck trying to remove a section of the inner circular wall. I can edit the wall > right-click and remove points, but that just leaves me with a straight length of wall in one section still connected to the curved circular wall.

I want to remove the straight section, but I can't select the straight section while I'm in wall-editing mode (where I can only add or remove "points") and I if I hit the enter key to exit editing mode, I still can't select just the straight section.

Is it possible to remove the straight section as I've described? If so, how?



P.S. - Please, "polywalls" and "subtrahends" may be plain as day to you pyro (if you read this), but plain, for-dummies english would be much more helpful for us/me on the low end of the learning curve.

What would be best would be to increase the number of points around the edge for larger circles / walls - this would make the walls smoother. But only Pyro could do this.
