Doors and windows

[Krisztian Gulyas]

Im using AEC wall in my scene but if i put a door or window in it, the wall remains there. theres no opening in the wall. what could be the problem? thanks

Does the door/window look correct? I ask because I always have to train myself to click the points in the right order. Making a door is, for me, counter-intuitive.

Another possible issue might be snaps. I don't remember if getting near enough works or if you want to turn on edge snap to make sure the openings are created exactly on the wall faces.

[Krisztian Gulyas]

Yes, they look correct... but maybe I messed up the order. I didn't even think of that .
Snaps are on. I don't think that is the problem now.

[Krisztian Gulyas]

I dont know what did I do, but it's working now. Thanks for replying.

sometimes max cuts into the wall and sometimes you have to use the link and select tool to link the window to the wall etc

[Krisztian Gulyas]

Thanks Tony. This is the first time I had this problem, so I had no idea what to do.

[Tony O'Connor]

yes there are tons of problem when you use stuff for the first time Krisztian but once you get used to it then it's not a problem anymore

Incidentally, you should have a fair number of segments in your AEC walls especially if you have more than one windows or doors. Otherwise, there are problems. Best of luck.

[Krisztian Gulyas]

Thanks. I didn't know about that.

complete bull the only reason you need segs in you're walls is if you want to change the walls. You can run divide or run connects with you're walls to change it. You can add How many windows you want. if it does not cuts into the wall you can always create the window, door outside of the walls then use the link and select tool then drag the window for example into the walls this will automatically cut you're holes.
