1

Activate

Launch Edit Opening from the LizArk toolbar.

Set profile, size, sill, array, or text options in the opening dialog.

3

Click a surface

Preview on a wall, plaster, floor, or slab, then click to cut.

What Edit Opening does

Edit Opening is a custom opening cutter. It previews and cuts rectangle, circle, arch, triangle, hexagon, pencil-drawn, text, and array profiles through supported LizArk building surfaces. It can resolve managed plaster back to its source wall and cut both layers.

Opening workflow

  • Launch Edit Opening and choose the profile in its dialog.
  • Set width, height, sill, array rows and columns, or text options as required.
  • Hover a supported wall or horizontal building surface to preview the cut.
  • Click to cut. Pencil mode accepts a custom closed path and finishes with Enter, double-click, or drag release.

Controls

Number and letter keys select the six primary profile shapes. Brackets cycle profiles, arrows change width or height by 6 inches, and the dialog unit toggle switches millimetres or inches.

Horizontal floors and slabs are detected automatically. Hold Shift as a fallback when an ambiguous horizontal surface is not routed correctly.

Tips

On multi-leaf walls, LizArk verifies every expected leaf before committing the cut.

Pencil paths need at least three points and cannot self-intersect.

Use Free Placement when the profile should be centered on the picked point instead of using a sill datum.

Text in Surface mode can create surface text without a through-cut.
