Plugin to make a hole in a group?

Bob James

There are enough Fredos plugins to make a standalone application!

Interesting. That thought occurred to me even before this new marvel. I've already replaced shortcuts to lines, moves, etc to Fredo versions.

Too much honor!
It's when I write these plugins that I realize how rich is Sketchup, and the incredible amount of work that has been put in it over time.

Well deserved honour in my opinion.

Copy that! As Jack Bauer use to say.

BTW, looking at the video the response time seams to be pretty good. Does it work well with denser geometry ?

How the h&#l do you do that ?

I meant Fredo's video about the stamp-boolean thing, double-sorry
I can see how that got misinterpreted.. My english is not fluid sometimes.

Watching your video again, Sam. I clearly see you do the same thing. So thanks for the code

You only have to do some fancy widgets now, and you are good to go!

Which video do you refer to exactly?

Ah, now I see. It wasent a video. Last "Gif", which seams to have cause some confusion from my part.

I say no more...

Looking awesome, Fredo! Very exciting stuff! You know, a lot of other plugins might want to take advantage of the core features of your plugin.

Is there any chance you could develop a library and API for the hole drilling functions?

Very excited about the possibilities of this new tool...

Dale,

Thanks for your encouragements, I appreciate.

The algorithm is not that complex actually (the GUI is more time-consuming), but I have isolated it anyway in a separate class with no GUI dependencies. Note that the hole shape itself is specified as another class, called Stencil, which allows to aggregate several faces to build the hole pattern.
