Figure 3.2 The finished floor by picking walls
Note that the edge of the new floor is constructed where you click
your mouse when you pick the wall in reference to the interior or
exterior of the wall. The floor goes to the outside of the wall; to do
that, you have to pick the outside edge of the wall — otherwise, the
floor aligns with the interior. The entire chain of sketch lines is cre-
ated that corresponds to all the walls.
