[Plugin]Hole on Solid tool v1.6.3 upadate Jan 09, 2012

boilingsnow

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?

jorge2011

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,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.

Thank you. Excellency update.
Only a small error.
It does not work the command "Ctrl + Z". deleted one by one holes

Great plug in

an option to set the depth of the hole would be great...

jorge2011.....
I try your model.
And I move the face for hole to very small distance.It succeed.

The hidden line in the curved face is intersected with the hole on touch.

I will inquire about it.
Thanks.

Hi-

I've installed the 1.6.3 plugin, but when I first re-opened SU the little Hole on Solid toolbox was "in my way" so I closed it -- now I can't figure out how to get it back. I can choose the plugin from the Plugin menu and it works to make single holes, but I've no menu access to the Multi-Hole variant of the tool, and no obvious way to re-open the toolbox...

Any ideas?

Thanks, -carl-

Menu > View > Toolbars > the_Tool's_Name
On a MAC it might be called something like 'Tool-Palettes' ?

Doh!

And there's your 2D tools palette as well.

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.

Sorry newbie question - It took me a few hours (OK I'm really slow) to realize that the face could NOT be part of the solid. I'm having a couple of problems (1) creating the face - every-time I attempt to create the face it becomes part of the solid (2) I copied in a test object for the face but I cannot get it accurately positioned. Example I'm drawing a woodworking object and I need to have the hold precisely positioned and sized.

I've got to study a bit more to fully understand your statement in the above quote. If you have a reference video to explain what you have in the quote, for me that would be super helpful.

The concept is super and in the example file I downloaded it works GREAT! I'm using SU 8.

Could you post a screen shot of your model? Or better, the SKP file? It would be more helpful to explain how to position the hole where you want it and to sort out why the face becomes part of the solid.

Just discovered this plugin. Installed it and tested it with faces and components including multiple selections and it works like a charm. Thanks! It will come in very handy for window openings.
