The face and solid must be in same Group or Component or Model.
It is rule of this plugin.
Thanks.thank you in advance for this plugin.
i still didn't get it though.
say, if i have a window as component and a wall as a group, i can't make a hole on the wall with the shape of the window component? -

This tool is a general hole punching tool using 'solids' to make holes in forms. If you want a window or door component to punch a hole in wall that has two faces, I suggest that you use a normal 'cutting-component' which will glue onto the front face and cut a hole, then use my context-menu tool 'Hole Punching Tool...' to punch the wall with a matching hole - this also has the advantage that the 'hole' is linked to the component and moves/copies with it etc... -

Are you asking for help or just making a statement?
Since the plugin does work for others, it probably has to do with the way you've installed it. You could post a screen shot of your Plugins folder so someone could help you.

Or they way he's using it. Not possible to know until we have further information to what exactly doesn't work.

it works for me

Hi,durrroy.
The face and solid must be in same Group or Component or Model.
And ComponentInstance for hole must have hole option.
It is rule of this plugin.If this is not solution for your trouble,Please show ruby console from 'menu' -> 'Window' -> 'Ruby console'
And work some with this plugin,the error message will show when error is happened.
or Download the example.skp that Dave R uploaded in this topics.and test it.
Please reply the result.
Thanks. -

Please explain 'how' it doesn't work...
Any Error messages ?
Doesn't it do what you expect ?
If you have the Ruby Console open are there any messages etc etc...
Does your PC explode... or what ?Help us to help you

Update in Jan 03,2012
:Add new function,Punching multiple holes.@unknownuser said:
It would be very interesting to drill holes by lot in case of large number of windows for exemple...
this new enhancement is working very fine
Congratulations dear tak2hata
You've mastered herein a pretty good tool 
@cocotier
Please remember that
This tool is intended to make holes on "solids" -> closed volumes set as group or component. This is not completely true since the following enhancement:
Update in Dec 14 ,2011:
Hole on unoccluded faces group(Tentative)
The group or component walls we want to pierce don't have to be solid anymoresimon
-
the new feature works well for me too. thank you. -
Hi,tak2hata.
Your Multi Hole Tool is very interesting and useful. But with Multi Hole I can only make holes into a solid using faces as definition of the form for the holes, with a component or group it fails to make holes into any solid...I can see in your video that you are using a group or component. Can you tell me how you can make it? -
excellent and thank you very much.
Two requests for future versions.
You can add a function: projecting faces in a solid?
You can add a function to hole or project a face, in multiple solid? -
Hi,I did not change title of topic in Jan 03,2012.I modeified title.
Hi,boilingsnow.
The componet for hole must have cut openning option.
Reference about component here. http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=114526Hi,jorge2011.
I will consider your Proposal.
Thanks. -

[attachment=1:1jixhd7j]<!-- ia1 -->rrrrrrrr.gif<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:1jixhd7j]Hi,XIAOLONG.
Outline for cut openning must be drawn on X-Y Plane( Red and Green axis).
When the component is already existed,You rotate axis in that component.
And outline must be placed in the root of that component.

Watch for reference to create cut openning option.

Hello tak2hata,
Your tool is impressive. I've done some experiments with it. It works really well. One question I have is it possible a component that contains some single solids to cut completely into the wall.
