Is there a way to knockout shapes in stager to create new compounds like the pathfinder options in Illustrator?

 

Ex. I have a wall and want to knockout a space for a window.

    unfortunately no. There is no Boolean function in Stager as well in Dimension,

    You can try to use previous versions of Ps (as in recent ones team deprecated 3d) or new feature of Adobe Illustrator 2022: OBJ export). Besides that any 3d app that have Boolean function can be used. 

     

    In Stager or Dimension you can only manipulate with opacity property to hide that object and get hole in any object.

    Gotcha.  Seems weird not to have that function in modeling software...would be great to have that feature added!

     

    And good to know about the .obj export in illustrator 2022, have not done the update yet, but will soon enough.

     

    Thanks for your response.
