rhodesy Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 This has bugged me for ages so hoping someone can help. If I import a DWG CAD plan for example and then draw a slab under this plan I can't then cut a hole in the slab through the CAD layer. I have tried importing 'lines only' option and also locking the CAD layer as suggested in another thread but to no avail. I think its because FormZ makes closed poly lines a solid so it blocks the cutting operation. The only way to do it is to draw a solid and boole but that is a bit long winded. I have attached my import settings and a bit of a test file. See if you can cut a window pane out! Thanks. cad blocking cut.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi rhodesy, If you ghost the layer (make sure you have snap to ghosted turned on in snap options), then it should work. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi Rhodesy, Yes, if the Layer is Locked, then we should allow the hole to ignore these objects. Thanks for your report, we will get this corrected. Just Ghost the layer as Des suggests to avoid the issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodesy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks for the tip and for hopefully fixing this. Unfortunately im only on V8 so I suspect this will only help those on 8.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Rhodesy, Ghosting the layer and Snap to Ghosted should work fine in all versions of formZ. Are you having any issues with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
