Clip Mask

Question

Is it possible to create a clip mask with holes, if so how would I go about this? Work in PowerGeopak SS2 for this project.

Create a filled shape using the background color over anything you want to clip out. You can use Priority settings on levels, reference files or elements in a 2d file to put the filled shape on top of everything. In a 3d file you will need to adjust the elevation of the filled shape to be above anything to be clipped.

I would use that mask shape BG Fill as a ref file so I can control it better and also find it when needed

To clarify - you have a reference attachment. You would like to mask (hide) part of the attachment, but in the middle of the masked portion, you would like a "window" to show a portion of the reference? 
 I don't think that can be done. I've never found a way to do it. Whenever I've needed that, I either do some VERY creative shapes for my mask fence, or I just create a secondary copy of the attachment, clipped to just that part I need to show within the mask. I have never found a way to punch a hole in the mask.
