HELP: Cutting window opening component
-
Yep, everything selected.
So 12 edges and 4 faces.
I want the component to cut through the front and back. -
That's the problem. You can only cut hole in one face.
However, I'm currently working on a plugin which will allow you to cut holes in double faced wall. Currently I create the other cut fine, but I'm need to do some more work in managing the double cuts.
-
Aha! Thats why the checkbox option is called "cut opening" not "cut OPENINGS"!
Well, let me know when you finish the plugin, looking forward to it.
Thanks for your advise.I think I'm going to mirror the cut component to work around this problem.

That's what the plugin I work on do. But it's more automated. When you place new instances it'll try to automatically cut both faces. As well as synchronize the two cutouts when you move and rotate.

What if I want to cut a hole for a Gothic window like this one?

My plugin will handle that. You can use any shape you want. It detects which edges intersects with the opposite face.
-
Cool. Hurry up with that plugin! (Currently I use two components mirrored)
-
Only straight lines with this one
-
Well, mine is not only curved but the "depth" is not straight either but has an angle.
-
So use the Fredo6 push pull vector

I don't need a plugin for this - it's actually a piece of cake to model - it would just be fine not to worry about the cutting ability of thick walls.
