TroyerDesign Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 A floor access panel specifically. Sorry I guess I didn't make that clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBCooper Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Joey didn't say but I am guessing that he is just showing the access in his plan view as a cad detail. If you need to make sure your floor framing handles the opening, you can always make a "hole in floor platform". You could also make a symbol and set it to "cuts referenced surface (floor)" and then set "entire assembly" and then it will also cut through the floor framing but you can show a solid surface or even a door on top of the opening.

para-CAD Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 This works here in W. WA state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I do it in the floor framing plan, with details. The framing is edited as needed. And on the architectural floor plan, just like Joey does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done exactly this in the past, and it works, but I was hoping there would be a way to create a symbol or fixture of sorts that recesses into the floor flush with the finished floor, but does so dynamically and has a hinged door like a cabinet. I have been playing around with a modified cabinet and then converting to a symbol, but I lose the ability to show the hinged door at that point. I have been converting to an interior fixture. Maybe I need to use a different selection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been attempting to follow some of his recommendations to do just that. Maybe one day he’ll see this and explain it or better yet create a how to video in his YouTube.
