            Great plug in 👍

            an option to set the depth of the hole would be great...

                I try your model.
                And I move the face for hole to very small distance.It succeed.

                The hidden line in the curved face is intersected with the hole on touch.

                I will inquire about it.
                Thanks.

                  Hi-

                  I've installed the 1.6.3 plugin, but when I first re-opened SU the little Hole on Solid toolbox was "in my way" so I closed it -- now I can't figure out how to get it back. I can choose the plugin from the Plugin menu and it works to make single holes, but I've no menu access to the Multi-Hole variant of the tool, and no obvious way to re-open the toolbox...

                  Any ideas?

                  Thanks, -carl-

                    On a MAC it might be called something like 'Tool-Palettes' ?

                      And there's your 2D tools palette as well.

                        The face and solid must be in same Group or Component or Model.
                        And ComponentInstance for hole must have hole option.
                        It is rule of this plugin.

                        Sorry newbie question - It took me a few hours (OK I'm really slow) to realize that the face could NOT be part of the solid. I'm having a couple of problems (1) creating the face - every-time I attempt to create the face it becomes part of the solid (2) I copied in a test object for the face but I cannot get it accurately positioned. Example I'm drawing a woodworking object and I need to have the hold precisely positioned and sized.

                        I've got to study a bit more to fully understand your statement in the above quote. If you have a reference video to explain what you have in the quote, for me that would be super helpful.

                        The concept is super and in the example file I downloaded it works GREAT! I'm using SU 8.

                          Could you post a screen shot of your model? Or better, the SKP file? It would be more helpful to explain how to position the hole where you want it and to sort out why the face becomes part of the solid.

                            Just discovered this plugin. Installed it and tested it with faces and components including multiple selections and it works like a charm. Thanks! It will come in very handy for window openings.

                                      Thanks for this plugin, I love it!

                                      I did have some trouble with they sketchy physics plugin though, somehow they conflict, and it caused the plugin to combine the face and the solid into a group, with no hole created. After hunting for an hour or so, I finally realize it was the plugin I had added this morning causing it.

                                        Hi,zaaephod.
                                        Thanks for your enjoying.

                                        And the problem was already solved?
                                        If not,Is the problem caused to hole on solid?

                                        Thanks.

                                          Tak2Hata,

                                          Thanks for the plugin. It was frustrating trying to use this - I watched your youtube video three times, and even allowing for the different (Japanese) Skethchup version, I couldn't get anything to happen...but finally figured it out while writing this!

                                          You replied to another user who had my problem, above:

                                          Hi,cjc0306.
                                          That flow of tool is like this.
                                          Start this tool.
                                          Click Group/Component.
                                          Click face for hole.
                                          I think you selected face first?

                                          My best clarifying rewrite:

                                          1. create object to be drilled and save as group or component
                                          2. create shapes to use as "drills" that will extrude holes in that solid
                                          3. float those "drills" above the face/s of the solid such that their shadows will extrude the holes in the desired locations
                                          4. turn on Tak2Hata's drill tool (look for floating menu to confirm it's on)
                                          5. note that instruction text (bottom of screen) will say "select first solid"
                                          6. select the object to be drilled (as group or component)
                                          7. the grouping to be drilled will highlight in blue
                                          8. note instruction text will now say "select face for hole"
                                          9. click on the group's face that is to be "drilled" - and note that there will be NO visible response to this - that is, there is no indication that you've succeeded in selecting a face; also, the arrow-cursor will seem "dead" at this point (it moves, but can't select anything other than a drill-shape)
                                          10. keep the faith, and click on any of the "drill" shapes you made previously
                                          11. a hole in that shape will be extruded through the object (I'd add an explosion sound there if I knew how...)

                                          I've only done this once successfully, but I think this is about right. Please feel free to edit/use my clarifications to help instruct others.

                                          --Dave

                                            Hi,david.

                                            Thanks for your reply.

                                            I will write the annotation about the solid in sketchup must be Group/Component.
