clip/carve a module?

[cvlw]

Hello TDM crew.

I am not sure what to search for, so am asking.  Is it possible to clip/carve a module such as:

   "models/darkmod/architecture/modules/interior_set01_corner.lwo"

to be able to manipulate it?

Modules are not "ungroup-able" like prefabs.

Essentially, I am looking to add a vent grate.  I have been considering using combinations of the "...hole..." or "...empty..." module variants to get what I need.

Much appreciated.

[edit] -- sorry, I will try and put these under the "newbie questions" forum going forward.

An LWO is a model format, so you can't manipulate it like that in DarkRadiant as it's not brushes and patches anymore.

Thanks for verifying.

You can't do it in DarkRadiant, but you could do it if you imported the LWO into a modelling package like Blender then exported it to a new LWO.

Whether this is a practical solution will depend upon your particular comfort level and familiarity with modelling tools.
