(e.g. Shaft) in your project.Add a new Additional Wall Opening.

Wall Opening Customization
LD2027 Release
Hole positions can now be adjusted independently of their parent component — location and dimensions become directly editable.
Prerequisites
Standard holes: Customize mode must be activated
Ventilation window holes: can be switched to customized when needed
Additional wall openings: already behave as customized by default
Steps
Select the hole element.
Use the Breadcrumb, Data tree or the view frame.Set the Customize property to Yes.
This property will be available for standard ventilation window holes. Additional wall opening already have these properties as default.Customize the wall opening.
Edit the hole dimensions, X, Y, and Z location, shape and the coordinate system for the relative position.
NOTE: Once Customize is activated, the hole no longer automatically follows changes to the parent component — component changes may need to be applied manually afterwards.
Result
The hole sits exactly at the desired position with the desired dimensions, independent of the parent component's default logic.
Wall Segment
Steps
Select the parent component.
(e.g. Shaft) in your project.Add a new Additional Wall Segment.
Use the add function in the Additional Objects docking window.Set its description and location.
Rename the created Segment Object, choose the shaft wall to place the segment and position it relative to the wall base point.Adjust its position and size.
Check the dimension to edit: Segment X0/Z0, Segment DX/DZ or Segment X1/Z1.Set the material.
Select the new segment in your project and change its material via the Properties docking window.
Wall Segment Customization
The customization of a segment follows the same steps as the wall opening customization.
Result
A new additional wall opening or wall segment is created, positioned and sized as you configured — and, for a wall segment, with the material you assigned.
