Passage tool

Shortcut: P

Toolbar: Openings group

Place a doorless opening in a wall. Unlike Trim, Passage keeps the hosted wall and the wall above the opening.

What does P do?

P arms the Passage tool. It creates a doorless, hosted opening while keeping the wall geometry above it. Use D for a door, N for a window, and Trim's Open passage mode when you are already editing a wall.
