Adding or deleting a wall cutout (pass-through)

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 no longer want to place this cutout, press the ESC key.
   
   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.
   
   

9. If necessary, use the history of selection area in the Openings & Obstacles dialog box (where <Categories> appears) to make another selection, or click Close to close the dialog box.
