Through-Wall applieances

[BohoRex]

I am designing a small cabin, and plan for cooling is to use an off-the-shelf air conditioning window unit - framed into a wall instead of mounted in a window.

Is there a way to edit an item of furniture (3D object import) so that it can be mounted **through** a wall (just as a window or doorway is placed onto a wall) ?

I imported the closest thing I could find - a bathroom fan from the 3D models listing - however, it wants to be placed wither completely inside a wall or completely outside of a wall. I need it to go through the wall. I'm certain there's a setting somewhere - but I'm just not finding it yet.

Thanks,
BohoRex

You can move objects anywhere on the plan with keyboard arrows or with disabled magnetism. See help to learn how to disable magnetism.

Thank you! That was way too easy! (once the method was pointed out to me). Arrow keys did the trick. I'll investigate the other method later.

Don't wait too long! [;)]
Magnetism is useful for many other things as explained in this video.

A great set of video tutorials to binge-watch!
