      if you make a component you have the option of auto-cut. this is so that you can make one surface on another surface without having z-faces (i think thats what its called) that the faces change textures. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. can anyone help? โ“ ๐Ÿ˜•

        Hi Yaakov,

        It is very important to set the gluing plane correctly. To do this, when createing a component, there is an option to set the axes. When it's a "glue-to" component, there won't be a z axis for it (just a blue cross) but setting the red and then green axes correctly on the plane you want to cut the opening is essential.

        As a quick workaround to make life easier, I usually start making my glue-to/cut-hole components on a single, vertical plane (using it as a drawing board) and in this case the gluing plane tends to be created on this plane and I don't have to manually set it.
