Pushing a space surface orthogonally to create a hole
1
Verify that you are working in a 3D isometric view.
2
Select the space you want to edit, right-click, and click Edit in Place.
3
Select the surface grip to edit.
The tooltip displays the available edit operations:
4
Select the grip edit operation you want to perform:
Then…
If you want to…
click the surface grip. Then, move it to the new position.
move the space surface orthogonally while stretching adjacent
surfaces
click and hold the surface grip, press CTRL once, and specify
the new location.
move the space surface freely while stretching adjacent
surfaces
click and hold the surface grip, press CTRL twice, and specify
the new location.
move the space surface orthogonally while maintaining the
planes of adjacent surfaces
click and hold the surface grip, press CTRL 3 times, and specify
the new location.
pull the space surface orthogonally while adding adjacent
surfaces
click and hold the surface grip, press CTRL 4 times, and specify
the new location
NOTE The location of the current UCS is temporarily moved
to coincide with the original position of the surface grip that
you select when you are working with this option. Only the
UCS origin is changed, not its orientation.
pull the space surface freely while adding adjacent surfaces
click and hold the surface grip, press CTRL five times, and
specify the new location.
Push into the space to create a hole, or pull out of the space
to add adjacent faces.
push or pull the space surface orthogonally while either
adding adjacent surfaces or creating a hole
NOTE You cannot pull the space surface at such an angle, either horizontally or vertically, that the adjacent
surfaces become non-planar. If this distorted condition occurs, the space surface automatically returns to its
original position and an error message is displayed on the command line.

To save the changes to the space, click
on the In-Place Edit toolbar.
Working with Surface Openings
Openings on space surfaces can be important for building systems calculations when the drawing is used in AutoCAD
MEP or other building applications.
