Prepare your wall

1. Go to the 'Layout' step.

2. Select the wall where you want to create your wall indent.

3. Reduce its thickness (to accommodate a second wall).

4. Align it with the other walls on the sides.


Create the wall for your wall indent

1. Draw a second wall in front of the main wall.

2. Reduce the thickness of this wall to the minimum (max: 0 3/4").

3. Move this wall as close to the main wall as possible (until it looks like there is only one wall). 

💡 Use the keyboard arrows to avoid the 'magnetism' effect.
