pipe intersecting a wall with an angle

NERDASORUS — Sat, 31 Jul 2021 09:26:05 GMT

Hello
as the name suggests, i have a pipe intersecting a wall with an angle as you can see in the picture, is there a way to make a cut around that pipe and along its path so there is no clash?

thanks in advance

@NERDASORUS

Instead of using the Opening Cut use a 3D void form and use that to cut wall with

You can sweep a void along the path of the pipe (in-place)
You can use a wall based family with a void extrusion with 2 offsets (one at the front face and one at the back face)
You can use a face based void family with a swept void along a reference line that has an angle parameter which you can control when loaded to match the angle of the pipe

Typically you can create a family with angle parameter for the cutout. See attached.

There are multiple ways to do this as per earlier posts. My preference if I was to use a family is creating a line based generic model void and place it along your pipe/duct axis and use Cut geometry to cut the wall with it.

Another way that is using mass, as shown in the screencast below.
