      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.

                    Well, mine is not only curved but the "depth" is not straight either but has an angle. 😞

                        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.
