Step 10. Use the OFFSET command to offset the polyline 5″ to the outside, as shown in Figure 3-50.
Step 11. To split the two polylines that make the conference room walls into separate line segments, place two vertical lines (length: wall thickness = 5″) and location as shown in Figure 3-50. EXPLODE both polylines.
Figure 3-50 Offset the polyline 5″ to the outside, explode both polylines, make the 6′ door opening, and draw the two doors
Step 12. Use the Trim command to create the 6′ door opening as shown in Figure 3-50. The two vertical lines of the previous step will be the cutting edges for the Trim command.
Step 13. Set layer a-door current.
Step 14. Use the Rectangle command to draw the two 1-1/2″ × 3′ door symbols (Figure 3-50).
Step 15. Use the Arc-Start, End, Direction method to draw the door swing arcs (Figure 3-50).
Step 16. Set layer i-furn current.
