        Thanks Didier - i get this:

        Error Loading File Cutting_Windows.rb
        C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/Cutting_Windows.rb:1: Invalid char `\003' in expression

        i downloaded with dialup so i cannot rule out the fault being somewhere in the process..

              Hi,

              Below is the code of the controling function to wether display menu or not.
              So, if you're not satisfying all the uppercase comments, it is normal that you don't have the item in the context menu.
              Please let me know 😳

              
              def check_selection_floating_component
              sel = Sketchup.active_model.selection
              return false if sel.length != 1 #ONE ITEM SELECTED AT A TIME
              return false if sel[0].typename != "ComponentInstance" #MUST BE A COMPONENT INSTANCE
              f = sel[0].glued_to
              behavior = sel[0].definition.behavior.snapto
              if not f and behavior != 0 # IF COMPO IS NOT GLUED TO A FACE (FLOATING) AND IF COMPONENT CANNOT BE GLUED TO "NONE"
                return true #LET'S GO FOR THE MENU
                else 
                return false #DON'T DISPLAY ITEM IN CONTEXT MENU
              end 
              end
              
              

              DB

                SO BASICALLY..

                1. only one component has to be selected.... yes.
                2. must be a component instance... which means ????
                3. the component is not glued to a face... yes this is also satisfied..

                still nothin in the context menu.... or am i missing something from the code???? 😳
                ive never in my life even tried to read a code.. please forgive my ignorance!!! 😄 😉

                  Hi Jenujacob,
                  Please post the SKP so I can test what's happening. Maybe this has something to do with the model settings, 'cause you're doing everything right.

                    well theres nothing special in this skp though... its just has a standard "window" component from the architecture library placed in empty space as told in the PDF tutorial u provided..
                    Untitled.skp

                    i am also attaching a jpg showing the plugin placement.. just in case...

                      Didier, thanks a'lot!
                      It works! I just use componets from my collection and sketchup libraries(with glue allways)...so i play with glue function in comp-t's options(turn on any, sloped and ect...then back to none) and wall-cutting options appear in context-menu...slow response that component was unglued

                      Ohhh....we can put comp-ts at wall and ect. then manupulate with detail cutting

                      Thanks! Happy New Year!

                        Didn't work with components that had a behavior not to glue to anything.
                        Now works with every kind of component.
                        Happy new year !

                                      @ Amadex: look at the top of this topic, I've released a Mac version.
                                      Tell me if it's OK.

                                        I also tried your "mac version. I also get an "error" report.
                                        Could you help ?

                                        See error report in attachment

                                          Just to let you know that the Mac version works fine here.

                                          The whole thing is a 3 step process;

                                          1. define as cutting window
                                          2. put it on a wall
                                          3. right-click window and select "Cut wall from window" then parameters.
                                            Also works on several windows at a time.
                                            Many well deserved thanks to the author !
