Hi tak2hata

This is a very smart tool where Su is lacking. Thanks a lot.
(not very far from TIG's "Hole Punching Tool" complementary and maybe more easy to use "on the fly".

Do you think It will be possible to overpass some limitations ?

-> use it on a shape which is not necessarily : - a closed shape, - a group or a component.
-> select a bunch of faces to be hole punched rather than to be one by one ?

My respect and my friendship for what you gracefully share into this place,

++simon

Dear tak2hata,

veryyy nice upgrade indeed!!

(model Fancy arched window by loverevolutionary on 3D Warehouse)

Would you please tak2hata not give up in such a good path: It remains a major limitation.
It would be very interesting to drill holes by lot in case of large number of windows for exemple...

A little reminder on how make a Component with a cutting option:
(I have myself to revisit the process each time )

Cheers,

simon

Hi,Simon.
Thanks your opinion.
I will add function multi hole.
You give me nice idea and description picture.
And the funcy window is very nice.
Thanks.

It won't work on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I can't get it to work on a Mac?

I have done everything ?

jorge2011 · 14 Dec 2011, 20:45

tak2hata hello. Thank you very much for this excellent plugin.
Just a suggestion,
Is possible to add an option (for example by pressing the alt key) for projecting the selected faces over the group or component?

Dave R · 14 Dec 2011, 22:35

It does something on my Mac with 10.6.8. It's not what I expected. Hmmm

tak2hata · 15 Dec 2011, 00:16

Hi,sicd_steve ,Dave.

I will test the problem on mac later in few days.

Please wait.

Hi it's working, with and without other plugins enabled on 10.5.8.

I do get
WARNING: make_unique is a deprecated methodof Sketchup:Group nil WARNING: make_unique is a deprecated methodof Sketchup:Group
but it functions.

so any one on Lion who is up for a simple test can.
in 'Ruby Console' enter
Sketchup.plugins_disabled = **true**
then quit and restart, you will now not have a plugins menu,
so open Ruby Console again and type or copy/paste
load '/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/create_hole_on_solid.rb'
modify if your path is different

Retest the plugin... then into RC again
Sketchup.plugins_disabled = **false**
to turn back on all your plugins next startup.

Hi,
I test this plugin on mac os 10.6.8 and sketchup v8 free.
It work well.
So I need to know what is caused for this problem.
Please show the ruby console message as Driven says.
I will guess from that message.

Thanks.

Hi,Dave:
I update this plugin.
This will work.
Sorry this problem was happened in windows os ,too. but It was corrected.
Please try it.

Thanks.

Dave R · 16 Dec 2011, 10:55

Excellent! It work well now. Thank you.

May I make a request? I know you changed the script so that when a circle is punch through, the edges on the sides of the hole are soften. That's the way I think it should work but... For polygons, could you make it so that the edges are not softened?

samatall · 16 Dec 2011, 17:12

Hi tak2hata,
I tried it in SU 8. I did a simple wall and a circle face in front of it. Then I applied this plugin. It only duplicated the circle (but grouped). I tried using window components on it. It also made a intersection profiled face on the wall. I have no idea how to figure out this. Can anyone help?

Dave R · 16 Dec 2011, 17:24

Post the example SKP file so it can be examined.

samatall · 16 Dec 2011, 19:44

Dave, Attached is the model to explain it. Thanksexample001.skp

Dave R · 16 Dec 2011, 19:50

I opened the wall group and deleted the copy of the circle. Then I closed the group. I selected the tool, the wall and then the circle. Hole punched just fine. Do you have the most recent version of the plugin?
