    Hi,
    Does this tool "autoloads" when starting sU, since there is no rb file in the Plugins folder ?

      Hi tak2hata, well done!!!! A good solution to an age old issue among SU'ers...

      A few questions:

      1. Does the 'profile' need to be a group?
      2. Does the tool require a face or edges to create the hole in the resulting group? The reason why I ask is it would be good to extend this tool for edges to cut holes in groups [walls]. Say a window component is inserted; a nested group of edges could create the void in the wall and leave the window geometry.... not sure if this is possible.

        I like the way this tool rolls. Very effective in the video.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

              Hi,Gilles and Sadyo.
              I forgot fixing the problem.
              It corrected in v1.01.
              Didier Bur...Thanks for your advice.

              Thanks.

                Hi utiler.
                Your second question is the direction of the this plugin's future.
                1st question is No.
                It need only face for hole.

                Thanks

                      Playing with it I notice that it does not detect hole in face, this could be a great improvement.

                              Tak2hata, another question:

                              When you create the whole in the solid it appear to expolde the profile shape; eg: circle / polygon.... Can you force the resulting edges to be hidden?

                              thanks mate!! πŸ‘

                                Hi. I just tried to extract with Winzip eval version and got this in error output:

                                Extracting file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Sketchup 7\Plugins\HoleOnSolidTool_v1_01.zip
                                Extracting to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Sketchup 7\Plugins"
                                Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
                                Unable to process "HoleOnSolidTool_v1_01".
                                Severe Error: Not permitted or able to create an output directory.<<

                                Anyone have any ideas on this? Perhaps 7zip? Note that I am placing this in x86 where my Sketchup 7 version resides. Is this tool only for Sketchup 8?

                                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                  So this plugin only works with the "Pro" version? The free version does not have solids so I am unable to use it 😞

                                  Thanks for the great plugin even though I am unable to use it.

                                    How did you come to that conclusion? Looking through the thread it appears that other users of the free version of SketchUp have been using the plugin. The free version of SU doesn't have the Solid Tools but it still identifies solid groups and components.

                                          Certainly. When I get home this evening I'll post an skp file. Any and all help is appreciated πŸ˜„

                                          You have to have the profile lined up with the solid in order for it to work. I had my profile off to the side. My mistake, sorry.

                                          Gorgeous plugin.
