[Plugin] Superglue

Very clever tool. Didn't try it myself, and the illustration looks like it cuts a hole in the face. How about a wall made up of two faces? Don't program much, but can the api provide a way to find all the faces that a component intersects?

All it does it glue/unglue existing glueto components. In the examples given that happened to also be cutout components.
-
Also haven't tried this myself either. But, how about equalizing the hight of components placed. Like if you have windows and their everywhere, just enter a hight or chose a component that you want to be adjacent to the others?
-
It would be a different plugin, but it would be an interesting way for bulk adjustments.
An align tool, where you specify bottom/center/top etc. and then just make a sweep across the comps/groups you want to adjust.I do like this way of choosing entities - I want to explore further ways other than the traditional pre-select or click-click-click select.

I (think) I always wanted something like this; downloading it now!

HAve you a little animation of what must the glue's pot must do?
A video of the plugin in use? Yes I'll make one once I make v1.1.0.
Here you go sir (especially, with the annotations it is pretty fast so pause it when needed):
OH! Thanks so much Gaius, I was very confused what the point of this plugin was... so now, when I copy lights on the ceiling and they don't cut the opening in the face, the "Superglue" will "fix" it so that they DO cut the opening... BRILLIANT!
Thanks for sharing, ThomThom!

Provided that the axes are correct for the component you try to glue on - if the axis isn't aligned to match the face you try to glue on it won't do anything.

No more need glue for the plug Component Punch!!!
Tig found just add a # at the line 186 and all works fine!My bottle of glue will be full at the end of the week

It seems to not work for me
I made a component that makes a hole in a face, when I take the component from Components window, it cuts hole, if I copy it from model ( + Ctrl), it doesn't cut hole. I used Superglue on it, it doesn't cut hole. Am I misusing the plugin? Why that components don't cut hole when I copy them?

Can you post sample model?
-
can't explain myself. I saved the model as new file, it worked there. In the original one doesn't want. I copied the model in a new sketchup window, it doesn't work.
It looks like is a sketchup glitch, rather than model-related.
