Window/door and opening tool conjunction

ArchiMind

Hello everyone,
I have a quick question. Have anyone tried to use the opening tool in conjunction with the window/door tool and was able to remove the thin part of the wall that the opening tool is creating?

That is the side surface of the opening.

I don't think you can do anything with it in 25.

I think you can change the surface material in 26, but am not sure if you can hide it.

 

Just stretch the opening to include the window - it won't cut the window out.

Thank you for your reply, Barry.

In the end, before replying to me I did just that but seems a little bit off how sometimes tools are not communicating between themselves. Hope they will resolve this kind of behavior.

You know, have you tried using the Opening Oversize settings within doors and windows?

Hey @Lingwisyer,

 

I know about the option, but it wouldn't give me needed result.

It would cut the whole wall instead insulation part only. 

 

At the end i just made opening bigger, as Barry mentioned.

 

Cheers,

Stefan
