I Need Your Help "About Service Hatches"

Post by PRETORIAN »

I built a building with Service hatches (To simulate Massive Building Frames) Everything is OK, looks as real frames, but I have a problem with interior, on the floor the where the hatch is used I can't fill it with Floor Parquet.
Is there any solution to solve this problem, or is there a Hatch without bottom pane....

Here is the sample Image:

Vako,

What you need is a combination of a door frame and a service hatch, but than invisible. This model isn't provided, but you can make it yourself with a bit of effort.

1 - Combine 3 very thin boxes into a door frame (2 vertical, one horizontal at the top)
2 - Export to OBJ format
3 - Using a text editor, add "d 0" (see this thread) to make it invisible
4 - Now import it as furniture, and make sure you check the check box "door/window"

If you insert this model, it will function as a door frame, but because there's no floor part, the floors of two rooms will connect seamlessly.

Maybe (very maybe) I will make the model after the weekend. Now it's time for bubbles, lots of bubbles.

Not sure I completely understood your need, but in case you're looking for an invisible box, you can find it here. Don't forget to check the Door or window option at the third step of the furniture import wizard if you want it to make holes in walls.

Oh! That is what I needed, It works great, but i have another question, Is it possible to change all of my Service Hatches to that invisible box all together not one by one, I have them many

Thanks!

Vako,

No, you have to do it one-by-one.
