Can someone tell me when you would use a "blank cased opening" vs. a "flat cased opening" ?
To me, a cased opening is a cased opening unless it has an arch or camber, etc.
Blank cased openings do not show up as dashed on plans and I am really not understanding their purpose.
Thank you,

As far as I'm aware, the BLANK opening doesn't have trim as standard, where the FLAT one does. However, the reason behind the difference is rather vague, especially since you can still check or uncheck the trim. Maybe it's historical, and goes back to before the trims were a standard option.

I agree. A blank cased opening would/should be better called out as a sheet rock opening

This would make sense to me, but it should STILL SHOW dashed lines because there would be a dropped header section...and it doesn't.
The dashed lines would line up with the wall, versus being offset at the trim line like a regular flat cased opening does.
