This is huge. Another must have.
-Mechanical engineering. Easy placement of connecting holes for interlocking or hinged elements. Any kind of embedded socket, hex nuts, washers, etc.
-Decorative elements that have repeating patterns. Interior design, ceramics, tiled ceilings, jewelry...
-Quick and easy panel lines.

Incredible plugin!!
I have done the Spanish Translation but there are some strings missing in the language file:
• Current Stencil
• Next Stencil in History
• Previous Stencil in History
• Pick a Stencil Shape in the Model

Spanish Language File

Oxer,

Thanks a lot. Actually, part of the strings are in LibFredo6.

I know it, I have uploaded the new Spanish Language for LibFredo6 v6.1a but these are missing strings to translate in VisuHole:

• "Current Stencil"
• "Next Stencil in History"
• "Previous Stencil in History"
• "Pick a Stencil Shape in the Model"
• "PICK A STENCIL SHAPE"
• "Pick a Stencil Shape - Click / Release to pick or Click / Drag / Release to pick and orientate - Ctrl down to Force faces - Esc to cancel"

Oxer,

There seems to be a small problem, maybe for because of the '/'.

Still I was able to translate these strings to French. So I need to clarify.

Thanks for the reply!

Awesome, I will try as soon as I can.

Quick question before downloading it: saw the first minutes of the tutorial video... when moving the stencil shape over the surface you want to apply the stencil, it seems the stencil is "grabbed" by it´s middle.

Is it possible however to for example, move a stencil by it´s corner, and then position it precisely somewhere?

Yes of course!
When you select a new stencil you choose its own origin and even its orientation!
And when you draw it on the volume again position and orientation (on the volume) are possible!
A must indeed!

Is it possible to get the result in the back (one step) if you place the drill shape at a border?

Just make the rectangle a little bit higher. With exact dimensions, VisuHole has difficulty because it does know the original border faces stay.

Is it possible to snap the stencil shape (drill thru) to guide points, guide lines? Or to use the normal inference system for positioning the hole?

You can yet with this little trick and if your face volume is Parallel to one axe!

Draw your guides lines crossing anywhere you want
Then call the Stencil and Press one of the the Keyboard Arrow (so x, y, z axis)
The snap will be fine on the crossing guides lines!

Curiously don't work with a Guide Point on the surface but Yes if the Guide Point is on the empty space!
So put the Guide Point on Guideline(s) who will be itself on the surface volume!

Edit : seems you cant draw your stencil on any position on the space of one Guide Line!
So no need to press the Arrows'keys!
But not on their intersection! Even Drawn a Point Guide at the intersection first!

All must be on the surface of the volume!
Guide line(s) + Point Guide

We have yet the rotation
but...
... does this is possible ?
Will be very smart!
And a Gizmo with separated scale X, Y, Z super smart!
