Cut-Out Tool

Use the Cut-Out Tool to cut a sink, hob or socket cut-out (a rectangle with rounded corners), or a tap hole (a circle), measured as a fitter measures it: back from an edge, and along it from its end.

Usage

1. Choose the Cut-out: Rectangle (sink, hob, socket) or Circle (tap hole).
2. Fill in its Width (along the edge) (a circle's diameter), its Depth (across the edge) and Corner radius.
3. Fill in the Setback from the edge (to the cut-out's near side) and the Distance along to its middle (from the edge's start).
4. Click^* the start of the edge it is measured from (a worktop's front edge, a splashback's bottom edge), a point along the edge, and a point on the side the cut-out goes. The cut-out is shown as you place the last point.

Every size is a variable (COW1, COD1, COR1, COF1, COX1) and the cut-out a block on them and the three points: move the edge, or change a size, and the cut-out follows.
