      Bonjour,

      Tout d'abord merci Fredo pour tout ces plugins extraordinaires qui me font tout les jours gagner des heures de dessin. On a du te le dire pleins de fois mais c'est vrai, t'es le boss!!!
      Petite suggestion sur celui-ci. Il me semblerait intéressant d'ajouter des marquages sur l'axe des perçage (ou des extrusions également). On pourrait de cette facon non seulement les déplacer/copié + facilement (notamment, lorsqu'on "perce" un trou cylindrique simple, on perd l'intégrité du cercle et donc son centre) mais également de coter et de mettre en plan beaucoup plus rapidement.
      Si j'ai pu faire avancer modestement le shmilblick....

        Hi
        I have yet to find the way to cut through my outer wall that is made of 3 solids going all around the building.

        So if I cut through my first wall ( 6 faces), I will also make an opening at the back ( 6 more faces to o through). And I find I can limit it to only the first cut, but then Im only 1/3 through my wall.

        Is there a way to set max drill depth, so it goes all the way through my wall, but does not reach the back walls.?

          I have used Visuhole successfully to stamp a logo into my model
          I noticed after converting to STEP file with FreeCAD that there are many hidden lines after the stamping, see "after carve.jpg"

          After the carve operation my model is no longer solid. I used CleanUp3 to clean up the model, after that there were a few lines I deleted manually.
          SolidInspector2 says it is a solid
          Solid Solver says it is not

          I am just wondering if the extra lines are to be expected after a carve operation or is there some setting in Visuhole that would avoid this?

          thx

            Because of the two holes, the front face will become quite busy with edges when you carve the logo. If your model is at small scale, this can generate issues with the shape being manifold.

            Possibly, you may try by putting rectangular edges around the holes over the main face to isolate them.

                  Extensions cannot be opened by SketchUp. You need to use Extensions > Extension Manager to install the .RBZ file

                  Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

                    To follow on from Rich's comment, it sounds like you have the download dialog set to 'Open with' rather than 'Save File' You need to set it to save file to get the RBZ to your computer to then get the extension manager to use it.

                        Scale is the first most likely issue, how small is your model.
                        Scale up by 100 and see if it works.

                          Scale the geometry so its oversized, run the tool and then scale it back down. SketchUp can struggle with forming geometry < 1mm.

                            Hello,
                            Is it possible to create holes with specific depth in multilayer objects
                            For sample, I was unable to find correct results
                            using drill and carve commands

                              To mimic an emboss across identical objects as per your setup could be done if the identical objects were components. Then a change in one is propagated to others.

                              But to emboss multiple objects based on selection I cannot see possible with Vishole if I understand your description correctly.

                                It’s a pity that it’s impossible, it seems like a typical operation (because the plugin can punch holes through components). But I need to cut a hole of a given depth through several components

                                I found another plugin (BoolTool) that does this, less convenient than this plugin. But it works

                                  Great Plugin, I love it a LOT!!!

                                  I have a question: How can I remove a stencil???

                                  Sometime I just require upgrade the stencil or simply remove the old stencil.

                                  Kind regards,

                                            You give too much AND not enough information…
                                            Can you explain what the carious bits are, and what you are trying to do, and preferably attached a simple SKP showing the problem, with steps if necessary - currently your movie is unclear…
