Hi guys - I have one more problem to sort out (after typhoon helped us out with two other issues). The problem is that I am unsure how to place a door in a angled wall.

I have looked at previous threads and my problem is the same as the following guys:

Now typhoon suggests the generic model face based family route - can somebody please explain how to do this please if this is the quickest/best solution.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Like I told in several threads there are several ways to solve this kind of issue:

- The better way (for me) is creating a "Generic Model Face Based" family where you can have parameters to control your door (width, height...)

- When you create that "Slanted Wall" with "In-place" you can create the "opening" with a VOID then create another In-place family in "Door" category, now you will need to "Play" with the "Work-planes" to create extrusions and don't forget to use the "Sweep form" using the the "pick tool" to select the path around the opening....

There are several threads about this and some of them have a video tutorial, you need to search...

Thanks for the response Typhoon. Sorry to be a pain but can you point me to where the vieo tutorial is you mentioned, I have gone through loads of pages searching but have not been able to find a tutorial on this issue.
