How to curt hole in log wall
-
Box, what is the tool on your toolbar next to the eraser (the one you clicked on to delete the object you used for the trim and subtract functions)?
I was going to try to modify my main toolbar to include that tool but I cannot seem to get to the option to modify a toolbar. I cannot get the ability to edit a toolbar to show up.
BTW: I tried both of the options that you showed in your videos and got them both to work.

That Icon is Delete from the 'Standard' toolbar.
This thread has a gif showing how to make a custom toolbar from about 9 years ago.

You could also use Eneroth Solid Tools which support preselection of multiple objects...

Thanks for the link. That plugin is not available via the Sketchucatiob Plugin store.

Thanks Box. I finally expanded my use of Sketchup's solid tools. Got stuck in a routine.

Thanks Box, I will have a look.
BTW, is there a way to add the bottom view to a toolbar?

Not in the older versions, but you can make a keyboard shortcut.

Again, thank you very much. I make a new small toolbar that has the Erase, Undo, Redo and Model Info icons. I wanted to place it along the side bar. I also tried to set it do double wide but it would not allow me to do it in that position. Am I missing something?
I will also add a shortcut for the Bottom view.

No you aren't missing something, the toolbar won't do double wide when docked, even though the Large Toolset does. It has been a complaint for many years. And you can't put the large toolset across the top.
Far be it for us to question the design gods of the UI, they obviously know something we don't. -
Added.........Alt+Shift+B
Again, many thanks. I had a bad day on the SketchUp forum so this was something very positive.

Box, thanks to your advice/info I was able to modify the Large Toolbar and add some functions (including the erase tool). Here is what I now have in the top section of the Large Toolbar.
Also downloaded the Eneroth Solid Tools plugin for dealing with cutting window and door wholes in my log cabin walls. Like it better than the standard tools (for this situation).
Again, thanks for your feedback and assistance.
