Hello, how can I put a recess in a wall?
I read about a wall niche tool but I cannot find it.

can someone point the direction, please?

It is in the window library. It functions like a window except that it fills in the back side of the wall seamlessly.

That's weird, I can't find it.
I am looking for something like this(pict)
Did it change in AC13?
Or it is not in the INT version?

That seems odd. You can use the AC12 version if you extract the library (don't load both AC12 & 13 libraries of course).

See attached, you should find it in a folder named Wall Extras 13.

Ok,the only place I could find it, was in AC11 --->04 Masonry ->W Niche 11.gsm

But it's grey'ed out and I can't select it.
Can it be erased accidentally or did I do something wrong with the migrating libraries?

Thank you for answering.

Sorry about my English.

Even in AC12 I cannot find it or load it.
