Automatic Cutouts in Floors and Ceilings

You can define your structural, electrical or plumbing families with openings. When you place the families
into a building component in your project, they will automatically create an opening in that component.
For example, you could create a light fixture and define it with an opening. When you place the component,
the opening in the ceiling or floor is created automatically.
