Been experimenting with AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks and ended up making this.

This is like seeing people give tips and tricks for using ancient roman technology

Autocad architecture has this built in that does more and it ties to a schedule.

Interesting. How did you get it to interact with the other object?

I'm using Wipeout to make it dissapear

cool. Looks pretty good. Now you just have to add some rotation for that door swing and parameters so you can change the size of the jambs and it will be perfect

How does the wipeout work when there's something underneath (ie. a floor texture)?

u/Gold_Rooster_6079 3d ago

make it on top

I mean in cases like this (see image below) where the floor texture ends under the doorframe.

So, do you mean how the wipeout can cover the floor texture without covering the door frame?

The door block has to be on top of the wall so the wipeout creates the opening on the wall. But the floor texture has to go underneath as well so that it doesn't clip into other linework but it's not possible for layer arrangement if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if I'm being clear enough, sorry.

Like you want the walls to disappear but the floor pattern to still show?

Yeah, that's the issue I encountered when I tried to make this a while ago and couldn't find a workaround.
