Create Wall Recess

        Architect: AEC

        Landmark: Landmark > Architectural

        Spotlight: Spotlight > Architectural

To create a wall recess:

1.      Create the closed 2D or 3D solid object with which to modify the wall. The geometry of the object must define an area or volume that has no self-contacts, no self-intersections, and no edges that fold back on themselves.

2.      For a 2D object, simply make sure that the object overlaps the wall in Top/Plan view. For a 3D object, first create the object at the appropriate height in relation to the bottom of the wall (Z axis); then set the appropriate X and Y axis location so that the object overlaps the wall.

3.      With both the appropriate wall and the modifier object selected, select the command.

Alternatively, for 2D objects only, select Modify > Clip Surface.

The Create Wall Feature Recess dialog box opens; different fields display depending on whether a 2D or 3D modifier object is selected.
