        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.

                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?

                  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?

                        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?

                          For some reason this plugin is not working with my SU v8. I've installed latest version of bst and hos 1.6.1. Even so, when I activate the plugin, then the tool and then I go for the wall, this is simple selected in blue color (not orange as I've seen on tutorial) and doesn't let me to select the circle, that would make the hole.
                          Any suggestion?
                          Thank you.

                            Hi,enachi.
                            The face and solid must be in same Group or Component or Model.
                            It is rule of this plugin.

                            If this is not solution for your trouble,Please show ruby console from 'menu' -> 'Window' -> 'Ruby console'
                            And work some with this plugin,the error message will show when error is happened.

                            or Download the example.skp that Dave R uploaded in this topics.and test it.

                            Please reply the result.

                            Thanks.

                              Tnx tak2hata , it is working fine now. My mistake was that I had both of the items, the wall and the circle made as components, not only the wall, in my case.

                                i still didn't get it though.
                                say, if i have a window as component and a wall as a group, i can't make a hole on the wall with the shape of the window component?

                                  This tool is a general hole punching tool using 'solids' to make holes in forms. If you want a window or door component to punch a hole in wall that has two faces, I suggest that you use a normal 'cutting-component' which will glue onto the front face and cut a hole, then use my context-menu tool 'Hole Punching Tool...' to punch the wall with a matching hole - this also has the advantage that the 'hole' is linked to the component and moves/copies with it etc...

                                          Are you asking for help or just making a statement?

                                          Since the plugin does work for others, it probably has to do with the way you've installed it. You could post a screen shot of your Plugins folder so someone could help you.

                                            Or they way he's using it. Not possible to know until we have further information to what exactly doesn't work.
