And if it's a sweep, it will add geometry to the wall. And if it's a reveal, it'll carve away from the wall, almost like a cutting tool.

And of course, if you do it at the instance level, it'll be wall by wall. So I want to show you both methods, and both sweeps and reveals. So let's go ahead and get started here.
