If we take a look at the floor plan here in this view, I've got a standard opening object right here. Now this is how a window would behave, how a door would behave, or even just a plain old opening. They all kind of behave the same way in the sense that the two sides are always going to be parallel to each other. Which means that when you cut that opening into a curved wall, it's very noticeable that the edges are parallel and they don't follow the radius. Now, in some cases, that's exactly what you want and nothing to do. But in other cases where you want those edges to follow the radius and look more like these two reference planes here, then you need to create another family to…
