Hi all,
I have been experimenting with line based families to make window sills. At this point I am trying to decide if nesting that into a wall based family (with a void to cut the wall), or just simply loading the line based (aka- 2 pick family) into the project.
If I do the latter, is it possible to make it cut a wall once inserted?
Is there a trick for inserting the 2 pick family? When I place the component the workplane is always flipped differently than I anticipated. In the case of my window sill I built the geometry so it appears how I wish it to in the "front" or "placement" elevation, but it comes in upside down every time.thanks.
