Using Slice Plane to add door and window heights
- [Instructor] We're staying in our 3ds Max scene 3D_Ground Floor.max and as you can see, we've got our nicely extruded walls in place at a height of two and a half meters, 2,500 millimeters. What you will notice though is where the door and the window are, there are big gaps and what we need to do now is think about how we're going to bridge those gaps to use an exact word that will crop up later in this particular chapter. So what we've got to think about now is getting the geometry in the scene to a point where we've actually got a denomination line that shows the height of the bridge across the door opening and the bridge across the window opening. To do that, we need to add what is known as a slice plane. Now, just before we do that, select your external walls by hovering over them and clicking on them. If you can't see those white lines like you've got on my screen at the moment, you need to just press the F4 key.…
