Automatically create cutouts and holes
Pro
Description
Applies a drill operation within the complete scene (or selected items) to create holes and cutouts. This allows a cutout to be automatically applied to make room for specific components, like hinges, bolts or a sink.
This function is available for users of Para-Flex Pro and higher. It will save a lot of time and prevent mistakes, such as holes that are still in an old position after the design is updated.
See below and the section Drill B for information on how the drill functionality works in detail.
Conditions
- The drill functionality is only available for users of Para-Flex Pro and higher.
The Drill function explained
Para-Flex offers the possibility to automatically create holes in parts. Based on specific elements in the model, like furniture fittings or inserts, cut outs can be created in a wooden panel or a metal tube.
The impression to the right shows two drill-shapes drawn in the base of the hinge, resulting in two drilled cut outs in the side panel of a cabinet.
The operation of the Drill function is quite simple, in short: the drill command cuts every IntelliShape with ‘HWDrill’ in its name, out of other parts. Of course, with the exception of the part that contains this HWDrill-shape itself.
