1. Slab with hole
2. Multiply slab
3. Add Shell for SEO
4. Hide Shell and there you go

very cool.

this is what i understand and dont understand

1. Slab with hole OK
2. Multiply slab OK
3. Add Shell for SEO CAN YOU GO INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL PLEAE !
4. Hide Shell and there you go OK put this on a new layer and turn the layer off.

Thanks.

ok i had a few minutes to try this.

for the shell part.
i was able to first select a surface on the side from one of my boxes, to allign starting view.
then i created the free form shape.
extruded the shape using the shell option 360 degrees.

placed it on the a new level.
used SOE solid object editing to subtract the new form from the boxes.
turned it off and BINGO there she is !

my only problem is.
i would really like to be able to go to a section view, draw my shape exactly for the extrusion and then make my shell.
But i cant work out how i can make a good profile in section and then use that for my shell extrude. at the moment it is just all loose in 3d view mode.

thanks guys.

pixpast, you're almost there!

missing part for you:
1. in section draw contour of shell with spline tool (or any other line tool)
2. copy that line and paste it on the floor plan
3. with shell tool active space+clik that line and finish shell as you want...

ok have my spline set up in section.

2. copy that line and paste it on the floor plan
DONE !
