I tried emailing you an answer to your previous message, but emails are bouncing back with an error because of an issue in your domain name.


I am not sure, but it is possible that the purchase is not going through because of the issue with your email.

If you are doing Mass Modeling (single face walls) you may also want to turn on the window or door's 'Mass Modeling - Reveals' setting.  This will add the "fake" inner reveals of the wall to make it look thicker.  You can also play around with the 'Inset' setting to move the window in and out in relation to the face it was placed on.
Generally, I'd recommend to have the walls enclosed in a component or in a group. And place the wall cutting components outside of the wall component/group.

You can use groups for walls too.  It used to be a problem with groups but not anymore (I personally prefer components).


It is preferable to have the walls windows and doors all in the same nesting level like here:


[image: 0cXP_flextoolsstructureinoutliner01.png]


You can change the name of the door (definition name) and everything should be fine.


The numbering sequences in component definition names are how Sketchup and dynamic components work.  When you make a copy of a dynamic component it keeps the same name, but once you make a change to one of the copies it becomes automatically unique and Sketchup appends a #n to the end.


I am not sure what happened in your example but the wall cutting can break when changing the context of a wall cutter in outliner.  See here examples how to avoid breaking the wall cutting: https://flextools.cc/learn/wall-cutter/#Advanced-Operations


Mike Brightman just came out with a new system in ConDoc 5 for applying multiple SketchUp tags to one object.  I haven't tried it yet, but I believe it will free you up from worrying about component and group nesting levels giving tools for easier filtering and sorting.

Is there any possibility we can visualiza the component's "Description" in the CF preview? Could be useful to give some preliminary info to the user without having to actually load the component in the current work file.
Just an idea!

Hi,
I'm new to Flex tools and finding the same issue. 6 years on I am just wondering if there is any improved approaches or do I need to follow this one?
What I am wondering is if there is a way to have adjacent flex windows (critical for my project, many adjacent windows) and maintain the point of the flex tools in being able to adjust the dynamic aspects later. This workflow seems to mean I can no longer adjust the settings the windows individually?
thanks in advance for any help!
Luke
