By the way, you probably don't need 100 sides. I don't know if you even looked at the examples I made for your other thread but I used less than 48 sides and the wheel looks fine.
Dave,
Something happened to my subscription to the other thread, or notice/s went to my spam-folder. I will go there soon to see. Thanks for the response. The 100 sides was just an arbitrary 'much higher' figure to see what would happen in comparison with the default 24 while chasing that jagginess problem. For my purpose, even 24 would be OK.

(Isn't there something like a keyboard control to toggle selection of axes for drawing tools? Closest I have come is using shift-key to lock a given axis, but that sometimes seems to go off on unintended inferences.)
Left, up, right arrow keys lock the cursor on green, blue, red axis.

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks a million for this tool. Excellent, excellent work.

tak2hata,
I am using one of your other great tools - Building Structure Tools. The best part of that plugin for me are the MWALLS. I finally figured out how to make my own walls and this is very powerful. The one problem I have is that I am not able to put a hole in the multiple wall without exploding the wall group. If I have a three part wall made into a group with each part being a solid group, SU still thinks the group is not a solid. So I can't select the group to use your hole on solid. Is there a solution to this?

You're talking about having a nested group containing a collection of solid groups. First, that nest isn't going to be solid because it doesn't meet the criteria for solid. You don't need to explode it to use Hole on Solid. Just open it for editing. Then the plugin works just fine.
-
Dave,
I understand that the nest isn't a solid and that this is the problem. I know that I can open the group and make the hole there. The issue is that this takes 4 operations as opposed to one operation if I could work on the whole group at once. Maybe it isn't possible for a plugin to look inside the group and find the solids to operate on and maybe it is. I surely don't have the knowledge to comment on this so I am asking the question. tak2hata is one of the many talented and creative people on this site and perhaps he would have an idea.
