Auto cut
-
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?

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.
