Dear sir,

I imported 5 buildings from different external files.
These buildings need to be connected by a long corridor. Please see "picture1" in Picture 5 buildings pdf-file.

Problem is that i can't connect the corridor to the 5 different buildings. Please see "picture2" Red circle.
A gab is left between the building and the corridor because i can't snap on to the building.

The only possible way that i can think of is to redraw all 5 buildings + corridor and draw it as 1 building. Offcourse, this takes time.

Is there a way to connect them properly, so that the 5 buildings are connected to the corridor?
Also that these walls between building and corridor are described as internal walls and not external walls.

Regards

Dear Koen,

You can merge the five buildings into a single building using the 'Transfer blocks' command under the Edit menu in the current version 1.3 beta release.

This will allow you to snap one block to another. There is currently no way to snap buildings together in this way.

Regards,

Andy
