RE: Need to punch window holes in complex wall
I'm grouping the box and wall together and exploding both inside the group editing interface (to avoid selecting or editing anything besides the wall). Once everything is stripped down to raw geometry, I highlight it all and intersect faces within selection.
To clarify: I can accomplish what I need to, it's just a bit arduous to do so.

Need to punch window holes in complex wall
Hey all,
I'd like to find a more automatic way to perform a common SketchUp task of mine. I often need to punch window and door holes in my projects, but TIG's hole punch plugin doesn't seem to work for a face this complex. Here is the wall I'd like to punch holes in:
As of now, my process is to create a box frame with the front and back open, explode everything, and intersect faces with the wall and box, delete everything inside the box, and delete the box itself. I can get it done, but it takes time and effort, and tends to play havoc on my already established groups and components. Is there and easier way?
