Custom door

[Anonymous]

Hello! I need to properly subtract the red wall out of the custom door. They are two stacked walls. I tried with the empty opening tool. It worked but it wasn't the same shape as the door. Is there a way to create a custom shaped empty opening or any other way so that I can get rid the red wall within the door? Thank you!

I always model my custom openings on storey 0 (or I guess it is story 1 in the USA version), with the centre of the opening sill at the project origin (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0).

Everything above z = 0 will be inside the wall behind the opening reveal depth.
Everything at z = 0 will be at the opening reveal depth.
Everything below z = 0 will be outside the wall in front of the opening reveal depth.

If you open the script you might see an ADD command right at the beginning that you can probably edit or comment out so the door is not set back.
I am not 100% sure without setting one up myself.

Barry.

Ok, trying to clarify. Is this what you are doing (please see attachment)?
If so, check also the properties of the door. There is that offset value from wall surface there. Is it zero or aomething else? Hope you get it working, this is probably all I know about this topic allready.

Thank you, Barry and Mikas! The problem got solved when I moved the horizontal door (and its wall hole) to the Project Origin. Previously, the door and the wall hole were overlapped at the same level but far from the origin. Starting the modeling of the door from the project origin is a crucial but not an obvious step.
