Hole

The Hole tool allows you to create through holes and niches in walls, as well as through and blind holes in beams, columns, floors, roofs, isolated foundations and wall foundations.

To create a hole:

1. Click the Hole tool.
2. Set hole parameters:

	Hole position relative to axis. Each option on the drop-down list shows how the object will be located relative to the insertion point on the level's plan or 3D view.
	Hole horizontal offset. X axis offset relative to insertion point. Can be negative.
	Hole vertical offset. Y axis offset relative to insertion point. Can be negative.
	Hole style. Defines the hole shape and parameters.
	Hole extent. Select one of the following options: At depth. To next face. To last face.
	Hole depth. Specifies the distance to cut the hole. If an extent at depth is specified for a hole, and the hole intersects more than one matching object, then the hole is cut from all of them.
	Hole rotation angle.
	Mark. It appears in the schedules. Necessary for insertion into the drawing.

3. Change the measure mode to Cubic, Cylindrical or Spherical.
4. Specify the insertion point on the wall, beam, column, floor, isolated foundation or wall foundation face using snaps.

If another suitable object passes through the hole created in an object, a hole is also created in that object.

Parameters may be modified both when constructing the hole and when editing. Press Enter to fix the parameter values.

All snaps and accurate construction are available for hole construction.

In order to modify, copy or relocate any created hole, select it by using the Select tool.
