Hole shape after using 'empty opening'

Anonymous
Not applicable
hi,

Is there any way I could control the shape of the 'empty opening' ?
I have a window that has an arch at the top, but when I set 'empty opening' the hole becomes a square?

thanks!

i'm using AC14

The Empty Opening is only rectangular. To create a non-rectangualr opening, add a slab wi the ID "Wallhole" that is the shape of the opening. For more information see the Help files: Virtual Building > Parametric Objects > Graphic Creation of Custom Objects > Saving Custom-Shape Holes or Niches.
