How to add wall cutouts and connect them to create a corner cutout

Add a wall cutout

Complete the following steps to add a wall cutout:

1. In the ROOM LAYOUT ribbon, click Openings and Obstacles.
   
   
2. In the Openings & Obstacles dialog box, double-click Wall Cutouts (Pass-through).
   
   
3. Select a cut-out size or model and click Place.
   
   
4. Click in the placement zone of the wall requiring a cutout.
   
   
5. In the Attributes dialog box, enter the Height and Up-down value (distance from the floor), when applicable, and then click OK to close the dialog box.
   
   
6. Click in the targeted wall placement zone. Because a wall cutout has no predefined width, a small outline appears to indicate the starting point of the cutout width (left or right side).
   
   
7. Use the Placement box as a guide and click to set the starting point.
   
   
8. If you want to place this cutout, move the pointer to the required width and click to set, or enter the width in the Placement box and press ENTER.
   Note: If you no longer want to place this cutout, press the ESC key.
   
   
9. If necessary, use the history of selection area in the Openings & Obstacles dialog box (where appears) to make another selection, or click Close to close the dialog box.
   
   

Connect wall cutouts

Complete the following steps to connect wall cutouts so that they appear as one in 3D:

1. Press the CTRL key while selecting the wall cutouts that you want to connect.
   
   

2. Point to one of the selected cutouts, right-click, and select Connect Items.
   Note: Even though the cutouts are now connected, they remain individual items on the design.
