Creating Walks and Patios
When you use the Walks and Patios commands from the Layout menu, you
can create paver walks and patios, as well as brick walks, patios, and hatch-
ing. The centerline of the walkway, the hatch pattern, and the boundary line
are placed on the current layer.
Key Concepts
■ For Paver Walks and Brick Walks, you draw a centerline and assign a width
to define the walk geometry.
■ For Paver Patios and Brick Patios, you draw a boundary to define the patio
geometry. If you do not create a closed boundary, the program closes the
boundary for you.
■ You must create at least two line segments for patio boundaries.
■ You may need to experiment with hatch patterns and scales. Some hatch
patterns may not function properly when the scales are set incorrectly; for
example, when a walk width is too narrow for a certain hatch scale, the
hatch may not be drawn.
■ If you already have a boundary drawn, you can use the Walks and
Patios ➤ Brick Hatching command.
