Can't cut out with Joint Push Pull Interactive

housemodels · 23 Jan 2019, 14:33

HI, Can anyone help please? I have a curved house wall and I want to make a simple doorway space cut through it. The normal push pull tool won't allow me to push the space out because it's a curved wall. I installed Joint Push Pull Interactive extension as I thought it would help. I can't find anyway using this either to simply push through my wall to create an opening. Any advice appreciated.

Could you share the model so we can see exactly what you've got and help you directly?

Boolean tools or VisuHole...

That would be a way to get an opening roughly based on the radius of curvature of the wall. I don't think JPP actually removes the opposite wall face in such a case. You may have to extrude right through the wall with JPP, then perform an "intersect faces" to cut out the wall and remove what you don't need. This would work fine for an opening where there is in fact no door.

I have designed (at least one!) door to go in a curved wall.The door opening (jambs) was not in fact angled on the radius of the curve. The side jambs were straight, parallel, aligned to a radial line at the center of the door. Otherwise there would have been a lot of issues in construction. (We didn't have a curved door.) In this case I would create a rectangle apart from the curve and push-pull it through the wall, then perform "intersect faces" etc.
