In the &lt;strong&gt;Cut Opening Options&lt;/strong&gt;, select &lt;strong&gt;By Polygon Points&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/960x720/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/5611.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/u&gt;2. Select the Structural Element and then align the ACS to the required plane.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/960x720/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/7776.a1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3. It will be observed that the ACS plane is set as required. Now, draw a closed shape as per requirement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/960x720/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/5125.a2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. The cut will be seen on the Structural member along the edges of the drawn shape.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/960x720/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/a3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5. Clicking on the Edge of cut, will make the cutting shape visible with some edit handles (marked with yellow circle)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/960x720/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/a4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; One can select the edit handles and change the perimeter of the shape as required.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/960x720/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/5100.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
