With Architect 3D, you can draw items that will appear only in the 2D design window, or you can convert them to intelligent elements. For example, you can convert a line to a fence, a rectangle to four exterior walls, a circle to a deck or even a circular stairway, and so on. There is virtually no limit to what you can draw, using this combination.

To convert a shape to an intelligent object

1 Choose the Select Objects button from the Editing Tools group then click to select the shape you want to edit.

2 On the Properties pane, click the Convert pop-up menu and choose the feature you want the selection converted to.
