Copies of Cut Opening Component, Not Cutting the Opening
-
so, after how many years of this functionality seeming to not be working, it seems like it's still not working.
a simple component with a pair of cut opening components (back to back). the first set of the copies - works as expected. second (and other copies) nada, zip. the components are there but the cutting is missing...
so, are cut opening components not support in dynamic components?
i've seen people recommend a paid-for tool (VisuHole) but that doesn't seem to be workable in a dynamic component.
attached is the component. routed absorber frame.skp

as an fyi - i make make a component, then my cutting component, manual add it to the face on the primary component, it cuts. then a copy (m + ctrl to copy) that one also cuts. so something is wrong with the dynamic component use because the same copied set of attributes (whichever one says this one cuts) should be carried to the next copy(s) as well..
acomponent.skpsomething to do with depth... with the flat version - cuts on a flat component - ok. one depth versions, first one cuts, second does not.
non-dynamic - copies cut as expected...

If you flip the host part to be flat on Z and jiggle the cutters they'll sort themselves out...
Or use SuperGlue by Thomthom
It reminds SketchUp the 'Cutter' and face relationship for when it messes up.

For DC, embed in second cutter (parent is a cutter as well)

that seems to work. thanks!
for others - you need to embed the cutter DC first, then create a parent of the the cutter (which seems to automatically set the parent to cutter but check it). doing this outside of the face(s) to be cut does not work.
