Creating Holes in Extruded 3D Spaces
Use this procedure to subtract extruded 3D spaces from one another in order
to create a hole in a space.
NOTE This procedure is valid for non-associative spaces only.
To create a hole, you need to select spaces that intersect one another.
Alternatively, you can select a closed polyline as the shape to subtract. You
can choose whether to keep the subtracted space or polyline in the drawing
as a separate unit. For example, you may want to keep the space if you need
to subtract the same shape from other spaces.
When you subtract one space from another, the base boundary of the
subtracted space is subtracted from all boundaries of the first space. The other
boundaries of the subtracted space are just deleted without interacting with
the first space. Depending on whether the first space has style-defined offsets
or manual offsets, the boundaries around the hole are either re-calculated
according to the style offsets or cut off at the intersection.
IMPORTANT Before subtracting a space from another space with manual boundary
offsets, verify that all boundaries you want to be cut are activated. If a boundary
is not activated, the hole will not cut through it. For information about activating
manual boundaries, see Activating Manual Space Boundaries on page 2980.
