I have a pillar in the corner of the room

If you have created a design and have added too many turn/back commands in a corner, it can sometimes throw out your walls and leave a small pillar in the corner!


We have developed a wizard to help you more easily remove excessive/unwanted turn/back commands in your plan. 

To activate:

1. Click File and select 'Run Wizard' from the drop down

2. From the window that has opened, select 'Optimise Commands' and click 'OK'

3. A window with tick options will appear. Make sure all the options are ticked and select 'OK'.

4. If there are any unnecessary commands in the plan the next window will tell you how many were removed.

This will analyse every corner in the design and will remove redundant turns/back, which removes the pillars.
