Hole plugin

I don't understand the rest of your code.
mini = 10000
What is this magic number?current_norm_reverse.length = 1000
What is the purpose of this line? -

What is the purpose of this line?me too, that code is from rectangleHoletool.rb from the link in my first post

I made some test on that plugin.
If the entity is longer than ~25000 cm (more than 25400cm, I just test it), you can make any hole. If it's smaller than that value, it workingre-edit2 : I can make a hole in groups !
(many thanks thom !)
Now I still have the first problem... -
The logic for finding the opposite face is somewhat odd. The magic number is no good design and puts on an artificial limit.
I'm thinking that it'd be better to trace a ray to pick the opposite face. Shoot a ray from one of the vertices (or a calculated face centre) in the opposite direction of the face normal - see if it hit a face with a reversed normal. Then use that length to push-pull. -

Meh! Doesn't work for faces outside the current context...

This one works.
UPDATE: I'd forgotten to remove some old code. Please check the new version.

I saw a tiger lurking...

I made an inept and incorrect comment, which I then decided to erase
You have fixed it now anyway...
BUT where'd it go
Now it's back again... The art of illusion..........
"Now you see it, now you don't."PS:
The latest code method'smodel = face.modelis now redundant, because you iterate through theface.parent.entitiesto find the matching 'back-face'... -
