When creating curved Walls and polygon-type elements based on Arcs, Circles and Splines, the approximation is defined in Magic Wand Settings.In this case, the Magic Wand will only take the selected elements into account when searching for chained elements or a bounded area.

You can refine the Magic Wand function by selecting one or more elements.You should always check that these are correct either before or after using the Magic Wand, especially if the elements are intended to have a specific relationship to each other, such as a roof resting on a Wall. New elements use the current default settings of the corresponding tool.Activate the Fill tool, then click with the Magic Wand inside the empty area denoted by the curved line, to create a Fill of that shape.Activate the Roof tool (Multi-plane method) and click with the Magic Wand on the edge of the Wall to instantly create a Roof whose pivot line traces the Wall polygon.The Magic Wand has three different shapes for identifying: Note: The Magic Wand preview highlight color can be set in the Work Environment settings. Here, if you are using the Magic Wand to create Walls atop two intersecting slabs, the feedback shows you the possibilities: While the spacebar is pressed, move the cursor around to view feedback on the possible resulting elements. Click to automatically find and trace a polygon shape.

How to Create an Element with the Magic Wand

If you click in empty space, or on a surface, the Magic Wand traces the closed geometric area formed by the nearest elements.

If you click on an edge or node, the Magic Wand traces the element and/or element chain.

The Magic Wand (shortcut: Spacebar) saves you work by finding and tracing a linear or polygon shape from among existing elements, and then generating a new element based on the polygon.
