        Extensions cannot be opened by SketchUp. You need to use Extensions > Extension Manager to install the .RBZ file

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

          To follow on from Rich's comment, it sounds like you have the download dialog set to 'Open with' rather than 'Save File' You need to set it to save file to get the RBZ to your computer to then get the extension manager to use it.

              Scale is the first most likely issue, how small is your model.
              Scale up by 100 and see if it works.

                Scale the geometry so its oversized, run the tool and then scale it back down. SketchUp can struggle with forming geometry < 1mm.

                  Hello,
                  Is it possible to create holes with specific depth in multilayer objects
                  For sample, I was unable to find correct results
                  using drill and carve commands

                    To mimic an emboss across identical objects as per your setup could be done if the identical objects were components. Then a change in one is propagated to others.

                    But to emboss multiple objects based on selection I cannot see possible with Vishole if I understand your description correctly.

                      It’s a pity that it’s impossible, it seems like a typical operation (because the plugin can punch holes through components). But I need to cut a hole of a given depth through several components

                      I found another plugin (BoolTool) that does this, less convenient than this plugin. But it works

                        Great Plugin, I love it a LOT!!!

                        I have a question: How can I remove a stencil???

                        Sometime I just require upgrade the stencil or simply remove the old stencil.

                        Kind regards,

                                  You give too much AND not enough information…
                                  Can you explain what the carious bits are, and what you are trying to do, and preferably attached a simple SKP showing the problem, with steps if necessary - currently your movie is unclear…

                                    @TIG Sorry. New video with my explanations is here: link

                                      This really needs @fredo6 's expertise, but as far as I can see the vertical component with the holes is nested inside a component of several pieces.
                                      If you do not edit and select the appropriate context then the hole cutting doesn't occur in the component ?

                                            Sounds like it might be a permissions issue.

                                            Perhaps @fredo6 can comment further...

                                            If you are on a PC installing SketchUp correctly or Repairing it can sometimes fix it - but @fredo6 might want you to delete one of his folders used to store things like templates...

                                            To effect a SketchUp 'Repair' do the following...
                                            Close SketchUp.
                                            Find it's installer exe file [usually in Downloads] or get afresh one downloaded.
                                            Select the exe file and right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator
                                            In the dialog that opens choose 'Repair'.
                                            When it completes restart SketchUp and retest...
                                            Installing by double clicking the exe file to 'Run' ir is not the same, even if your user-account has admin-powers - it can cause unpredictable issues with folder and file permissions etc...
                                            A Repair will not adversely affect any customization or installed extensions etc...
