ACADuser Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 What is the best way to punch a hole in the wall for the hatched area. It is an irregular shape & I want to maintain the room/floor area. I suppose you don't want to interrupt the exterior wall so you can maintain a room. The wall is 8" CMU, the window is actually 8' back on an interior wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Doorway with poly line solids to fill in irregular shapes? Or 3 doorways, one arched in middle two (square topped) flanking each side? Then mull doorways, add columns, moldings etc. Just noticed it was a window...hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Two stacked doorways - the bottom wide and squat, the top one full arch - is one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Like that Robert. Just noticed it was a window. Not sure how to get window in there. Will experiment a little. Ah I see it's got a window in another interior wall. Both methods should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yusuf-333 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 i tried a window opening. attached symbol opening1.calibz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 The door one above the other worked fine but I am struggling to put molding around the openings. I'm off to watch a few videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Got the molding added but can't seem to wrap the end of the molding like on a window sill? Also on the Windows I wanted a different apron & thicker sill. How is that accomplished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 OK got the molding to return to the wall under the opening. It required that I use 3D molding and draw it in plan view 2nd floor out in the front yard. Draw a short leg then the long leg followed by another short leg to return back to the wall. The hard part is maneuvering it into place. I switched to front elevation to get correct height. Then used right side elevation to move it to the wall. I guess from the lack of replies that the Stool or Apron is not accessible to the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 One more issue. Need railing is door opening. If I add railing via the deck menu the door opening is deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to use the align-center command to center the molding on the opening - either in plan or elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlackore Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The molding does not offer tool Tested it - you're right. That's an annoying omission on Chief's part. What did work for me was this: shoot an elevation, move it in to the middle of the wall, then I was able to select the molding and do a point-to-point move from the middle point of the molding to a middle point on the window frame.

DRAWZILLA Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 You can also just do a room molding p-line for the molding and remove all the automatic molding in that room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I think you also need to check "No Room Definition" No you don't need to check "No room def" if its a railing wall, are you using a p-line molding? Using a railing wall, you also have the center tool to use. There is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 I used a room divider wall segment turned into a railing. That when moved into the doorway killed the doorway unless the "No Room Def" was checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I don't know but it works for me. I just check -no locate but keep no room def. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
