      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.

              thank you in advance for this plugin.
              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.

                                  If you have the Ruby Console open are there any messages etc etc...
                                  Does your PC explode... or what ?

                                        Hi,tak2hata.
                                        Your Multi Hole Tool is very interesting and useful. But with Multi Hole I can only make holes into a solid using faces as definition of the form for the holes, with a component or group it fails to make holes into any solid...I can see in your video that you are using a group or component. Can you tell me how you can make it?

                                          Two requests for future versions.
                                          You can add a function: projecting faces in a solid?
                                          You can add a function to hole or project a face, in multiple solid?
