By using this feature, same holes cut automatically through the whole building, and if the
opening move on one floor, shaft is moved this on all floors.
Stair shaft boundary line can be selected via the Pick
line, Pick Walls or by drawing the boundary after you
transformed its geometry.
The function ends with Finish Edit.

In Shaft Opening Properties can the vertical extent of
the shaft be defined, but it may be easier to pull the
