  • Bring over another opening using the desired Template for the Inset.

  • We will be using #613: Fr Stair Top.

  • Resize it to the desired Width of the Inset.

  • We will be overlaying the center of this opening with the bottom of the #101: Rectangle, so you will need to make the Height twice as large as desired.
