      I've got a small problem with visuhole, i can't cut thru walls...

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/i46v3pobdw6kee2/visuhole%20-%20no%20holes.skp?dl=0

      In the example you'll see the outer osb and rabat wood, i want to cut the roof but i can't..

      What am i doing wrong?

      Is it because i use components? osb plate 1220x2440?

        Can you check the options for component selection.

              Can't load your file!
              In your profil it's writed 2014 but seems your file posted is not that!

              If you can send a skp V6 to V 2017 format that will be fine!

                  Fredo there is some odd behavior that may be related to this.
                  If you have a Component made of components Visuhole will cut through it, but if you have more than one it will make the one you use, unique, and cut the holes in the other.
                  This doesn't happen with a simple component, it becomes unique and gets the hole while the others remain untouched.
                  Here is an example of what I mean with the complex component of components.

                  I've added the file from the gif

                    Still getting problems, i've tried to remove the groups, make all items unique, but even then it didn't work...

                    Fredo... any idea's what to try next?

                      I am looking at it. Very strange, but definitely a problem....

                        Thanks for your response...

                        I've already done 90% of my work and with your plugin it saved me many hours of cutting things... but now the last part (the rabat wood) is still a big thing! πŸ˜‰

                        To test alot of things, i've ungrouped groups, made all components unique but it all made no difference... to bad... realy hope you find what's wrong! πŸ˜„

                            What version of SketchUp are you really using? Your profile says 2018 Free/Make but there is no such version.

                              Thanks for your reply, i've changed the status of the video so it should be available now. Can't share the skp file now coz i'm not home right now.

                              If needed after seeing the video, let me know and i'll get it to you.

                                I've added an example. Holes in the 'OSB' are already cutted with visuhole a couple of years ago.
                                The new Rabat wood doesn't want to be 'holed' using visuhole.

                                Tried many things, one thing works without visuhole and that's exploding all rabat groups and combining them together... then i can use the solidtools to make holes... but that's not what i want.. i want to keep the groups....

                                    If you enter the Muren Group and punch the Group with a Stencil then it will target what you need.

                                      Thanks for your response, i've tried it but doesn't seem to work.. i think i am doing something wrong??

                                      Is it possible that you make a small gif/video clip of how you did this?

                                      Again, thanks for your effort!!!

                                          @ericbruggema Does my picture not show the settings I had? I was inside the context of the group so I was targeting the item that needed punching. But also review the settings I had picked on the UI
