Create an opening on a Clipped Object

Create an opening on a Clipped Object

Not sure how to explain this, but can I wipe out in a clip, or basically hide a portion in clipped object?

 

Here is my example: l created large block of a tiled pattern. I drew a smaller wall and placed and clipped the block (tiled pattern) to the wall. However, there is mirror in the middle of the wall. I don't want my tiled pattern to run over the mirror. I want to clip out the size of the mirror (but let's not forget I already clipped the block to the wall size). I can't use wipeout because wipeout also removes frame of the mirror, and I want to show the mirror, and just remove the tile at the mirror. is that possible to do? If so, what steps do I need to take?

Here is the same object, clipped two different ways.

 

Is the right one, what you're talking about?

If you use DRAWORDER carefully, you can put the wipeout in front of the wall pattern, and the mirror frame in front of the wipeout, and you should see it as you describe.

I confess to some curiosity -- is this something that could better be done with a Hatch pattern? -- fill just the wall area with it, exactly, rather than putting something in that extends beyond the wall, and clipping it.  [Hiding the part of it behind a mirror, if you don't just Hatch around the mirror, can be done with a Wipeout and DRAWORDER in the same way as in my previous Reply.]

This is clever. This works for me. Although ideally, I'd like to have a function to add a clip to an existing clip if that makes sense.

I saw your note on adding a hatch pattern, but I work for a tile company and tile sizes pattern vary so much for me to be creating hatch patterns. Plus I'm not proficient with creating hatch patterns, so I recently started using the clip command on a block object with success, but came up with problem stated above.

Yes, this is what i'm looking for. but this is only ONE clipped object correct?

 

What I want, is to create one large block of my tile pattern. I have multiple walls at different sizes.

Currently, I use the same block and clip it to each wall. However some walls may have a window, or mirror, and I want to modify my clipped block, and ADD a clip to that block to hide the tile pattern and expose the window. Essentially, I'm adding a clip to an already clipped object. is that possible, besides using the wipe-out command and draworder?

How about something like this?

how do you do that without using the wipeout command, and without hiding what's inside the cutouts?

The drafter in me is cringing. There are much better ways to accomplish what you want. They require more work but you will have a much better quality drawing.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Well let's hear it. There's many ways to do the same thing in CAD. I'm looking for the fastest most proficient way of doing this. It's not always about quality. You can take 10 hours to do a drawing. And then you can do the same drawing with more efficiency in 8. Why would I want to work 2 hours extra to get the same results? It's not like the person in field wants my CAD. They are going of shop drawings, the end result is what matters. Hatch patterns work great, but I'm not that proficient in doing hatch patterns and I don't work with the same tile pattern twice in a 3 week period. I used to draw the tile and trim off all the frames and so forth. But that was tedious. And then if I had to move the entire tile for layout purposes say 2 inches to the left, I was screwed. The tile pattern is not for visual purposes, it's an actual layout of what we need to create. Which means tile sizes vary, joint sizes vary, expansion joints will vary, grid pattern, staggered patten, and so forth. I'd like to learn, please provide with an alternate way that requires LESS works, who wants to work more? It pays more to be more proficient.
