Hello….
I want to create a ceiling light. Is it possible to automatically subtract the “slab” when a place it or move it? I want the light to behave like a window on a wall……

Thank you…

You might try this:
Substract the ceiling light from the slab using Solid Element Operations. This way the substractions remains with light and you can move it around.

Just one more addition. If your lamp is hollow on the parts in the slab, you may want to consider creating a solid model variation for the subtraction operation. You can branch the two models based on the (GLOB_CONTEXT > 40) condition.
