Function Description:

This command is used to create 3D solid in the shape of a wall or series of walls. A polysolid is drawn the same way you draw a polyline, which is created with continuous straight and curved segments.
The PSOLWIDTH system variable sets the default width for the 3D solid. The PSOLHEIGHT system variable sets the default height. You can also convert existing 2D objects such as lines, 2D polylines, arcs and circles to 3D solids with a default height, width and justification.

When you start drawing solid wall after clicking on your first point, it gives you 2 options (Arc, Undo)in the command line and dynamic input box. If you don’t input any of them, you can just continue drawing your lines.

If you type “Arc”, it can give you 4 options (Direction, Line, Second point, Undo), you can draw the arc by 2 points or enter “Direction” to draw the arc by tangency direction.

You can also type “Close” to close your polysolids or type “Line” to change back to line again. If you type “Undo”, it will back to previous point.
