  1. Click Place Opening Command on the vertical toolbar.

  2. Select the object in which to place the opening. You can select walls, slabs, and members.

  3. Click Add References to Sketch 2D on the Place Opening Ribbon.

  4. Select objects in the 3-D model near the object in which you are placing the opening. The objects that you select display as thick blue lines in the 2-D environment. You can define relationships and dimensions to these blue-lined objects in 2-D.

    The software also automatically retrieves 3-D objects to display in the 2-D environment. The automatically selected objects display as fine grey lines. Examples of these objects include geometry generated by end cut operations, geometry that represents hidden lines from intersecting objects projected to the sketching plane, or objects that intersect the sketching plane. The software writes these graphics to the No_Constrained_Elements layer. You can reference these objects to place your sketch, but the objects that display as fine grey lines are temporary. When you exit the 2-D environment, the software deletes these graphics. Any relationships or constraints to the temporary graphics are also deleted when you exit the 2-D environment.

    Although the references are deleted when you exit the 2D environment, the references are automatically reimported when you modify the opening.

  5. Click Draw .

  6. Using the available drawing commands in the 2-D environment, draw the opening.

  7. Click Close on the ribbon to display the opening that you drew in the 3-D environment.
