Re: Sketchucation Plugin vs. Extension manager

@TIG I am trying to create the described Sets but am having problems getting them to work. I am on Mac and when I try to create a new set in the Plug-ins Manager nothing shows up in the Sets window. I then try to type the name in again and it says This Set Exists but it is not showing anything. I got it to show once with the Extensions Manager but then it disappears and only shows when I create another new set, then disappears again. How would I go about getting this resolved so it is usable? Thanks!

@Rich-O-Brien that worked. Thank you! Can you clarify for me if disabling them using these managers disables them for the current session or only once sketchup is restarted? Also, disabling them keeps the plugins files in the plugins folder correct?

Hi mitcorb,

Thanks for the help. I tried the hole punching plugin, but cannot get it to work. I tried creating components that have a gluing plane and every time I right click and choose punch, it says no suitable component instances found, exiting. Any advice? Thanks

Hello,

I'm new to posting here, so let me know if I don't do something correct. My problem is this: I've created a lap siding profile using profile builder to create horizontal siding around my house model. Now I'm trying to figure out what is the best and fastest way to punch "holes" in the siding where the windows and trim are placed, without spending a ton of time drawing. I tried the "hole in solid" plugin, but it creates a hole through the entire siding group, not just the side of the house where I need the hole. I thought about the solid tools, but then I would have to create solids the same size as the windows for every window and then use the subtract solid. I'm hoping there is a better, easier, faster way. Any help would be appreciated. I've posted a picture to help explain what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks!
