Good morning everyone! What methods do you use to cut holes in complex faces in SketchUp?

[mantaray]

Sketch up tutorials and tips that actually works. Thanks Justin!!

[quyenvo]

every questions begin with "how to", and that is the way i find your tutorials, thank you very much!

[jakhan]

Another great tutorial - keep 'em coming... your methodologies are unique - thank you.
Also, the in depth instruction no matter how easy it may sound is most definitely appreciated!

I like using Solid Inspector2 to check issues with solids. Thanks for the great content in your videos.

[RickDupuis]

I like this style... Showing the manual way of doing something then showing how much easier it is with an extension.

Great help. I have been trying to figure out why I can't work on curved faces. Explaining about missing geometry is what I was missing.

Thanks Justin! Just what I was looking for. I got the Solid Tools extension and will play with it, but I find it tedious to heal some of my shapes to make them solid. I'm getting better at making solids, but not totally there yet... Some of my designs are pretty "organic", so it's pretty easy to not heal all of the edges from the inception.

I use "SU 2016 make" and Solid tool is disabled with me. I discovered a plugin. The principle is the same as in "Solid tool", which is still the free "Hole on solid - Multi Hole" is versatile. ;- )

Is there a way to make a wall like this in the free version?

[danielmr]

in my case is not working. every time I try, it gives a different result. disappears both objects or just one side is cutted and the other turns blue, or both turns blue and the hole stays cuts but there's always something remaining from the first body.

Hi! I'm trying to cut a curved wall that goes around a curved u-shape staircase. My boss needs me to have it done by Wednesday and i've been trying for days with this method. I can't seem to get the same height consistent all the way up the stairs. I need the wall along the curved stairs to be 3'-0" above each step (will be used as a railing) but it just doesn't work out. Can anyone help me?
