Removing Doors But Keeping Hinge Plate Holes

Post by Stephen Williams »

Hello All,

Is it possible to add a door then remove it but keep the hinge plate holes associated with that hinge?

Thanks

Steve

Stephen....

Almost. You have 2 choices.
1) Use a "DO NOT CUT" door material (quick easier version) This method preserves the parametric hole geometry placement
2) Using the part editor, copy the hole geometry and apply it to the side panels. This is explained very thoroughly in the Training Videos using shelf holes as an example. It is a good feature to learn.
