Cut Opening in dual surface wall
-
I have been working with SU 7.0 Pro for a few months now, and I have yet to figure out if its possible to have a window or door that actually cuts an opening in both sides of a wall. I know its easy to have it cut one surface, but that is usually not enough since walls are usually 2 surfaces. Does anyone know how to build a window or door component that does this?
Also can anyone clearly explain to me the Glue To options, other than Any I can never get them to do what I want. Thanks in advance. -
It isnt yet possible, although thomthom has got a script called doublecut in development that does just this. I understand it has a few major bugs that need ironing out, though.

That is what I was afraid of, thanks for the speedy reply Remus.

What you can do is to do a real intersection in the inside wall or insert another component onto the inside wall (say kind of a mirror of the outside one) to have that face cut as well etc. There are a bunch of workarounds (Thom'splugin uses this latter "trick").
If you don't necessarily need to also look OUT of the window but just to have something to look in, you can also paint the back sides of the inner walls with some transparent material to have an effect like this:

I read thomthom was working on a plugin intended to do that... but I really don't know else

Still in debugging phase (say "Alpha testing" - mainly for developers to help) but you can put your hands on it to see where it's going.
