      Hi Gaieus
      Yep just a normal face with thickness but real thin 1.6mm sheet metal
      As I said, sometimes its works and sometime not.. I guess its hard to push-pull a "hole"

          Andrew I downloaded your example and it does work perfectly.
          If I draw shapes on the surface, push pull works exactly as it should do each time.

          I switched on Color By Axis to check you had coplaner lines and everything is ok.
          There is no reason why this should not work in SU.

          Are you saying sometimes you can push through and other times not?
          If you place the push/pull selection tool on screen against the drawn shape, does it select/highlite the shape drawn ok?

              Yeah, what James says. You can PP further but if you stop at the bottom face, it will cut a hole. You can easily inference with the bottom line or any of the endpoints. When one hole is made, you can then double click on the other shapes and they will PP with the exact same amount.

              Gai...

                  There was a ruby out there that did this for you, although i lost it when i upgraded my computer. I think it was called hole.rb, but when i tried looking for it under that name i got something different. Anyone else remeber this ruby?

                    Dear Remus,

                    It is a Rick Wilson script called holes.rb. I looked for it in the Ruby Library Depot (it is still listed there under Edit), but it is no longer available. This usually means that it has moved to Smustard, but it wasn't there either.

                    Regards,
                    Bob

                      Hello

                      Here is the holes.rb script. Also I have attached opener.rb which also does the same thing. I think it is from Smustard - I do not remember. But I use this extensively to cut holes.
                      Makes holes
                      This also makes holes

                      Hope this helps

                      With best regards
                      PRSS
