Cutting a hole, then move it around
When drawing in cable-trays, I sometimes need to make holes in the walls for the tray to go through, later the customer may want to move the tray, so I guess doing the hole with boolean operations is not the best way.
Can I make a 3D solid with som kind of cutting object that makes the hole and can be moved around on the fly? Similar to a "opening cut" in Revit or a wipeout when 2D drafting?

Try using a hole component. These are parametric subtractive objects in the form of a special block. You will find examples on the library panel.

Hi, thanks for the tip.
The holes in the library all have rounded holes, so I tried making a 3D solid cube an put it on the BC_SUBTRACT layer, but it doesnt subtract from the wall when they intersect, but the holes from the Library-panel does.
What is the difference between the two?

Going to answer myself here, I figured out you have to make a 3D solid, put it on the BC_SUBTRACT-layer and add it to the Library as a component.
When inserting the component, select the wall you want to subtract from to make it work for that pericular building element.
