&lt;p&gt;You can use the construct openings tool in Compound cell mode to cut walls in your current file with doors in a reference file. &amp;nbsp;The tool will use the door&amp;#39;s perforator to create the opening. &amp;nbsp;The opening is static and will have to be recreated if the door is moved, but this can be a good thing for a structural wall since you do not want the architects to be modifying a structural wall without coordinating with the structural engineers.&lt;/p&gt;
