Utility Holes

You can generate holes in framing or sheathing components, based on a pipe or duct line you have added previously. If the building features several lines of varying types, you can select the lines that penetrate the holes. You can also select the object types (wall panel, floor framing, roof framing, etc.) to which holes will be added. The program collects the pipe profiles of the selected type from the model and adds holes to those framing components and sheets that the pipe or duct profiles cut. The holes are displayed in the panel drawings. You will need a software customization to be able to use this feature.

Note

• The pipe or duct line must be in a framing model (FRAMING).
• First, create the parts of the wall panel or framing area. Update the panel drawings when the holes have been generated.
• Only the profiles and sheets belonging to a panel or framing area are taken into account when generating the holes.
