            Will this work on cavity walls (multi layered walls) and complete the returns / reveals?

              Sorry, it just works inside the 'active' wall group. If the wall is multi-layered and each layer is a separate group, it won't work for that.

                Ahhh, sigh of relief! This is something I've been imaging should be possible for about as long as I've been using sketchup. Great work, can't wait to try it!

                    A question.
                    If I use this plugin in a model and someone that doesn't have this opens the model and moves a window. What happens?

                      I'll buy X10 if it works on curved surface.
                      P.S. Any plans for PB refreshing?

                        The window will move but the hole created from Double-Cut will not move unless you 'unlock' it with the Right-click context menu and move it manually with the SU move tool.

                          Sorry, the tool is not designed for curved surfaces. Basically, the tool extends the existing functionality of SketchUp's cutting components. Since SketchUp's cutting components don't work on curved surfaces, DC won't work either.

                            I'm having some trouble with this plugin. Please see attached video. My door component doesn't seem to want to cut through the wall.

                              The axis of your door needs to be set correctly. You also need to make sure your component has a closed loop of edges on the same plane as the x-y plane of your component. Check out this tutorial on creating cutting components.

                              As my first How To post, here is a method of creating a component that cuts through a surface. Here are a few things to keep in mind Although you can activate the cutting feature on an existing component, it can become…

                                Cool plugin, Dale!! Something that has been on the request list for soooo.... long!!

                                Just thought I'd make everyone aware that are using Skalp that it won't cut around openings as the standard SU section cut tool does. Not sure why; I'll ask the question of the Skalp team and see what they say.

                                  This is because the wall is not a solid. Faces on the side belongs to window group I guess.

                                    Whether its a solid or not surely the skalp tool should be able to work similar to the SU native tool??

                                      SU native tool doesn't make faces inside the wall.

                                        The problem is related with hole cutting components.

                                        They are not creating new geometry as they are not actually cutting away the face, they're just displaying it differently... actually they are hiding it. But the face is still there.

                                        Sectioncut face doesn't usually draw the face on the section but draws the edges of the faces that have been cut by hole cutting components.

                                        This requires some manual cleaning on Section cut face side, which is usually not that hard to do. For folks using skalp, it might ruin the workflow... I don't use it.

                                            Oh no! I was so excited that double cut was going to save me huge amounts of time, and now I have to pick whether I am more invested in double-cut or Skalp. Super bummed about this.

                                            Anyone think this has a chance of changing ever?
