7. We need to create a void using the blend method, select void from->Void Blend. Make sure you are still in the appropriate
work plane, that is the front reference plane.

8. We now have to begin sketching the two profiles for the void, front and back. Begin by sketching the front. When your
sketching you should be able to see when the lines snap what they are snapping to. Being at the bottom of the stair, first at F1, then horizontal,
then up at F2, horizontal etc. until you hit the top of the stair. We want to remove the top of this section so we need to enclose a box around
the full extent of the wall. As sketched above the void will not cut the entire unwanted section of the wall, be sure to make it big enough to do
this.
Then Select->Edit Top and do the same thing for the back section, this time using the B series of reference planes.
Once you’ve done this select->Finish Sketch. Go to your plan view and select the void, drag the rear grip to align with the back reference plane.
If done correctly the vertices of the blend should align with the drafting lines we drew earlier.
Now we just have to tell the void to cut the wall. Select the cut geometry tool at the top of the screen, then first select the void, then the
element we want it to cut, in this case the wall.
