Off hand, easy way is to use material regions/backsplash tool to cut parent layer and set assembled thickness to an 1/8" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaigle Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 Ahh ... that is a good idea! I'm charging hourly anyways! I was toying with Niche tool ... but too cumbersome for each door and window. Thanks Renerrabbit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Or a material region at each opening, use concentric to give 1/8 upsize, airgap material, 1/8 thick single layer, cuts into surface? Aha! It's 3/8 thick and cuts the 1/2 drywall. Takes maybe 20 seconds per opening side. Involved a CAD DETAIL FROM VIEW move to copy each window perimeter, then upsize by 1/8 concentrically, copy/paste-in-place in section or elevation, then the MR dialog. I colored mine dark gray. Anybody wanting the expense of this in a built job surely isn't going to balk at paying a Chiefer to model it in 3D, although it seems a folly to have it in on a screen just to see when there are photos of it all over Houzz. You can trim in mahogany for the same cost of no casing plus reveal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
