Wall hole offset in 3D but not in floor plan

jc4d — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 08:00:39 GMT

Hello,

I have created a custom wallhole with some offset parameters, the thing is it shows in 3D but is not reflected in the floor plan. This shouldn't be automatic?

3D script:

PUT A/2+left_tol, -B, 15, A/2+left_tol, 0, 15, A/2+left_tol, B, 15, -A/2, B, 15, -A/2, 0, 15, -A/2, -B, -1 WALLHOLE NSP/3,2,GET(NSP)

Floor plan:

Juan.

Try adding the offsets in the 'Compatibility Options' as well.

If that doesn't work, I believe you can script a WALLHOLE2 in 2D as well.

I use WALLHOLE2 in 2D to be sure that the result in floor plan behaves the same way as the WALLHOLE in 3D

Do they might behave different if WALLHOLE2 is not used?

Not certain to be honest but I always use the corresponding 2D command myself as a rule. If @Barry Kelly 's solution work then you can stick to it.

Yes, see the notes at WALLHOLE.
