FiGuRE 4.30 The drawing with doorway openings
The procedure used to make each doorway opening is the same one that you
used to create the opening for the box in Chapter 2. First you establish the
location of the jambs , or sides, of an opening. Once the location of one jamb is
located, the line defining that side is offset by the width of the door opening.
When the jambs are established, you'll trim away the wall lines between the
edges. The commands used in this exercise are OFFSET , EXTEND , and TRIM . You'll
make openings for the 3 -0 (915 mm) exterior doorway first.
Creating the 3 -0 (915 mm) Exterior opening
This opening is on the back wall of the cabin and has one side set in 7 -10
(2388 mm) from the outside corner:
1. Make sure 04A-FPLAY3.dwg is open.
2. Start the OFFSET command, and then enter 7'10 (2388 ) to set the
distance to 7 -10 (2388 mm).
3. Click the lower outside line indicated in Figure 4.31, and then click in
a blank area above the line you selected. You have to offset one line
at a time because of the way the OFFSET command works.
