              There's an updated version of the HolePunch tool available that avoids this clash...

                Chris, I can hardly keep up with your wonderful scripts. Most importantly though, you are very much appreciated for your kindness to the SU community.

                Very well said. πŸ‘

                Excellent plugin.

                        You mustn't have installed the files properly... πŸ˜•
                        It's a zip file... you must extract the files/folders from it into your ../Plugins/ folder... Please reread the instructions for the script installation and report back...

                        PS: I see you are a MAC user...
                        Type this into Window > Ruby Console
                        Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')
                        it shows where you should install your Plugins...
                        it IS easier on a PC as there is only one option...
                        πŸ˜’

                          Yes it was easier on PC so i switch to that.. I extracted all the files to the plugin file, and I got an error. This is what it said Error Loading File clf_shape_bender_loader.rb
                          no such file to load -- progressbar.rb

                            So install progressbar.rb as indicated in the 6th line of the original post.

                            And, for future reference, it is worthwhile reading all of the original post in an thread before downloading plugins. They usually full of useful information. πŸ˜‰

                              IF you report the original error message in the first place we could help you more promptly πŸ˜’
                              Please read the tool's instructions, follow them and then report errors after that [if any] 😞

                                        I select a group (ok ) BUT THEN when it comes to select a line i have drawn on the side of that object , a window appears telling me [please select a straight line ] or [ select a line on the red axis ] .... and my line is straight And on the red axis !

                                        could anyone help me out?

                                          John,

                                          Is the line you are selecting part of the group? If so, that would explain the message. The line must be outside the group for it to work.

                                          In this image the line is being selected. The component to be bent is above it.
