Cut out

Post by quickmic »

Hello

First a big thanks for this program, but I have a problem.

I need a kind of cut-out-tool to make holes in a wall with angle and without a frame.

I need this for my top floor flat, so is there anything I can use?

thx

Import the invisible box selecting the Door or window option during the 3rd step, and use one or more boxes of this kind to cut any wall or group of walls (it will cut only walls).

Mic,

Maybe this invisible hatch will solve your problem?
And eh, don't forget to check Door/Window while importing, or it won't insert itself in the wall.

Now it works basically.

check Door/Window while importing... was my mistake, thx for the hint

Problem is, I need an invisible wall/box or whatever which can make an angle on the top. Same system as normal wall have...sloping wall.
Is this possible?

Mic,

Maybe you can apply a transparent texture to (a part of) the wall?
It will show up as black in the design, but will be invisible when you make a photo render.

Mic,

Share your design, or [url=mailto:[email protected]]send it[/url] to me. I don't understand exactly what you want.
