Vectorworks Tip 389 – Clip Surface With Slabs

You can use a planar object to clip a portion away from a slab. If the slab has components then you can choose which component the planar object will clip. In these images the slab has three components and I can choose which component the rectangle will be clipping. If I use two rectangles, and use two different components, I can create a coffered portion of a ceiling. If I use several rectangles, then I can create a coffered ceiling.
