Gate behind cladding...

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm drawing an industrial building for the first time in ArchiCAD.

Now when I draw a gate in my wall, it is still behind my cladding which is an object.

What is the easiest way to remove the cladding which is in front of my gate?

I tried to use different cladding around the gate to make the saving but then I have a problem with the connections of the different cladding.

Thanks!

Dave:

One approach is to use Solid Element Operations (SEO) to remove the cladding in the model (3D), then place a white fill over the cladding in 2D, as the SEO is not shown in plan.

Have you tried using the cladding wall add-on?
Or, create a custom profile wall in the shape of the cladding?
