Another way to model takeaway areas within room floor is to Insert Hole.

 

Insert Hole: Right-click over the room, on pop-up menu, click on Shape Edit, then one of hole inserting commands. Or simply click on one of hole inserting icons on the toolbar, then draw directly over the room area (as depicted in red box below)

 

·        Add Rectangular Hole: press to draw out a rectangular area

·        Add Circle Hole: start from the center of circle to draw out circular shape

·        Add Free-draw Hole: draw a freedraw hole

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

Relocate or Remove Hole:

·        Left-click over the room area (but not directly over the hole), drag and move the center handle of the highlighted hole, drop it to relocate;

·        Drop out of the boundary of the room to remove the hole.

·        If dropped right on the boundary, the program merges the hole with the room boundary to form a new shape.

 

 Hole Insertion feature to some extent is similar to add attachment function. However, material items cannot be dragged and dropped to a hole. It is purely for deducting an area from the floor.
