Redefine component to cut plane.
-
I need to redefine a light fixture component to cut the ceiling plane. The component is already copied in several places. How do i get the component to cut in all locations after redefining component to cut the horizontal plane?

Ive tried "replace component" ruby but unfortunate the cutting attribute is not applied.

Hi Lapx,
You can always redefine a component by changing one instance but you can never get any of the previously placed instances to "jump" to the new gluing plane or (even if you don't change the plane), to cut new holes. Ubfortunately you will need to manually place them again (at least I don't see any other solution - once a component lost its gluing to anything, you cannot get it to regain it).

Hello Gaieus, thanks for replying. The initial file is a cad file with lights as blocks. I was trying to replace these with a 3d fix in su w/o placing each one individually. I hope someone comes up with somthing. Ii perhaps should be a dialogue box for editing attributes like this while editing selection of component. wish List!

Well, if you don't want to hassle too much with them later on, you can just intersect the face they are on and delete all the holes. Should be faster than with the new components.
