Cutting Openings
Openings can be cut in both straight and curved walls. The Wall Opening com-
mand tends to be used in curved walls because you already have the option to
edit the elevation profile in straight walls. And when you cut an opening, you
cannot sketch beyond the extents of the wall boundary or create shapes that are
not rectilinear.
The objective of the following exercise is to add and modify wall openings in a
curved wall.
A common use of this
technique is to attach
walls to sloped
elements, such as the
underside of roofs.
