Before drilling items in the environment with geometries, it is important to understand some rules:
1. Except for modules, all Promob planes can be drilled, that is, it is possible to drill walls, floors, and also geometries. For example: a module can drill a wall, but it cannot be drilled by a geometry.
2. Countertops are the only modulation items that can be drilled. Thus, when inserting a sink on a countertop, it will automatically be drilled.
3. Except for walls and floors, all other items (such as modules, items from the Decore library, and geometries) can be configured as drilling items, allowing you to choose the depth of the hole.
4. It is necessary to define the plane to be drilled. Correct plane definition is essential to avoid errors. To make a circular hole in a wall, for example, it is necessary to build the circular geometry using the wall as the plane.
5. The Drill tool is available for all geometries and allows drilling walls, floors, and other items.
How to fully drill walls, floors, and other geometries?
1. Build a geometry on one of the environment's planes. In this example, the geometry was built on the wall.
2. Configure the dimensions of the geometry.
IMPORTANT: the height defined for the geometry corresponds to the depth of the hole. For a full drill, the height of the geometry must be greater than or equal to the item being drilled (thickness of the wall or height of the floor or geometry).
3. Right-click on the geometry and select the option Perforate.
4. The plane is drilled by the geometry.
How to define the drilling depth?
1. Make the geometry visible by clicking the button Show - Invisible Modules on the Promob status bar.
2. Select the geometry and access the Tools Panel - Properties. In the Perfuration category, change the value of the Depth property and press Enter.
3. To visualize the plane drilling, make the geometry invisible.
How to drill geometry with another geometry?
1. Build the first geometry and configure its dimensions.
2. Build the second geometry in the desired shape for drilling and configure its dimensions. Right-click on the second geometry and select the option Perforate.
3. The first geometry is drilled according to the shape of the second geometry.
How to drill a wall with geometry?
1. Build the geometry on the wall and configure its dimensions. Right-click on the geometry and select the option Perforate.
2. The wall is drilled according to the shape of the geometry.
How to drill a panel with geometry?
1. Build the panel with geometry and configure its dimensions.
2. On top of the panel, build another geometry in the desired shape for drilling. Right-click on the geometry and select the option Perforate.
3. If necessary, adjust the drilling depth.
How to drill modulation countertop with Decore items?
1. Insert the modulation countertop.
2. Drag the item from the Decore onto the countertop. The countertop is automatically drilled.
