Add a Hole Using Points
You can add a hole to a horizontal structure. The hole can go
through the entire structure or it can be added only to the
selected structural layer. The same hole can cut several horizontal
structures located side by side.
- Do either of the following:
- Select the structure in the floor plan or model. The entire
structure is selected. Select several structures with the Ctrl key
pressed down.
- Select the structure, and then select the layer in the
model.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Create Hole.
- In the case of a sloping structure, select, if the points are
to be projected to the top or bottom surface of the structure.
- Measure height to top - The edge points
are projected to the top surface of the structure.
- Measure height to bottom - The edge points
are projected to the bottom surface of the structure.
- In the case of a sloping structure, select perpendicular or
vertical edges to the hole.
- Perpendicular edge - The edge direction is
perpendicular to the structure.
- Vertical edge - The edges are
vertical.
- Select the corner points of the hole. You can add a rectangular
hole by clicking just 2 points: the start and end points of the
diagonal. In the model, you can first select wire frame as the
method of representation, in which case it is easier to select
points of the model. The selected points are projected either to
the top or bottom surface of the structure. The edge points can be
located outside the structure and the line chain, which they form,
can run across several horizontal structures.
- Select Confirm.
Note
- You can delete a hole from the structure by deleting its edge
points.
