      I'm looking for a script that would work as follows:

      A custom set of tools like rectangle/line/circle tool that when completing a closed form, (rectangle or other form) it auto punches a hole in a wall.
      Kind of like Hole on Solid Tool but that you draw the face and after it becomes a closed form and the mouse button is released it would create the hole.
      Possible? Does it exist?

        I use the plugin in "hole on Solid". Take any face and it will drill a hole into a solid.

        I also you the plugin to trim solids.

        Click the face and than click onto any solid that is in line, and it eight punch a hole or trim the solid.

        A great tool.

          Yes, but I would like to draw the "hole", not first have to create a face and then activate the tool and click first on solid and then on face. Much more work.

            Hi

            how does it differ from drawing on a solid then push/pulling that shape to the other side, so that it becomes a hole?

              Well one reason I use this plugin is the lack of work. If I have a series of stacked solids and I want all to have the same holes. I can make multiplies face where I want the holes, pick all the faces, select the plugin, and than select the first solid, presto holes, select the next inline solid, presto, holes. Keeping this process down until I have all the face/holes in all the stacked solids. And the holes do not need to be round, they can be any face shape.

              Oh well, I found this easy to use.

                By not having to do a pushpull as that would be done automatically. πŸ˜‰
