Cut a rectangular hole through multiple stack panels in a single step.
The standard Hole tools found under the Home tab of the Ribbon Bar only affect a single room or wall flap. Creating an opening in a Stack using those tools would require each panel to be selected and cut individually. The "Rectangular Hole in Stack" tool avoids this issue by allowing a single hole to affect multiple wall panels. Tip: In addition to cutting holes in Stacks, this tool can also be used to cut through multiple wall flaps that were added manually with the Add Side tool. |

How To:
1. Select a room or any wall flap attached to the room from which material is to be cut. 2. Click the "Rectangular Hole in Stack" button under the Ribbon Bar's "Room" tab. When the cursor is moved over the drawing area, guide measurements will appear. Tip: Press F6 to move the guide measurements to the next point going clockwise around the room. Press the F7 key to move to the previous point. 3. Place the cursor over the start point for the hole and left-click. 4. Move the cursor to the opposite corner of the hole and left-click again. Material will not be removed from the floor of the room, so it is advisable to overlap the hole over the floor somewhat to ensure that all stack material is removed. 5. A window will appear asking if trim products should be used around the opening. Clicking "No" will complete the hole. Clicking "Yes" opens a new window in which edge materials for the opening may be specified. See the section below for information about adding trim. |
