ChiefuserMathews Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Attached is a AutoCAD file for reference. I am trying to create an arched opening as shown in the elevation in CA. I tried to use door way and add double arch, but the height locks at 144". Is it possible to create a solid in elevations and subtract? Tried to create polyline solid, but I dont know how I can subtract that from the wall. Could someone help me to achieve this?

Joe_Carrick Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Only a doorway or Pass-thru Window could work. You can't subtract a solid from a wall. Also I don't understand what you mean by the height locks at 144". Post the Plan so we can help. You can also post a PDF of the arch to show what you are trying to get - dwg's are not that useful.

ChiefuserMathews Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hello Joe, thanks for your reply. But I could not get arch with the door way. Plan and pdf attached if that helps.

ChiefuserMathews Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hi Eric, Thanks for your email. Not for construction. Visual to visualize a overhead projection screen beside the arched opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 More like this? Or....there is a way of creating a custom shaped wall opening (not a door). Have a look in the help file for Edit Wall Cutout Polyline. You can attach a custom shaped Wall Cutout Polyline to a symbol (by using Inserts Into Wall) and then hide the symbol so that it is not visible. Here is a very quick freehand hole in wall attached to an espresso machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
