Rabbet

Module(s): Special: Walls, Openings, Components

You can use the Rabbet tool to draw rabbets on the left, right and at the top and bottom of a window opening. In the case of walls with multiple construction layers, a rabbet can be inserted on a side of the opening or in individual construction layers.

Note: In the case of walls with multiple construction layers, rabbets may traverse several layers. When you modify these rabbets, they are split into discrete layers. You should therefore delete the rabbets and create them again.
