New day, new problem, though I do try to search for answers before posting, but can’t seem to find the solution. I simply want to cut an opening in an adjacent material from one that has an opening. In this case a layer of EPDM on top of a plywood deck. I have attached the skp file to show it clearly.
EPDM.skp (977.2 KB)
The push/pull function is not working in this instance.
Hmm, without knowing where you want to make the cut I can’t say what the solution might be but if you are able to make your groups or components solids, the solid tools might be what you are looking for. Specifically, the subtract tool is what you are looking for.
Sorry I wasn’t clear. I want to remove the black material (which represents EPDM) where the opening is in the plywood deck. I fear they may not be coplanar and that is probably where the problem lies as it should be a simple push/pull process to void the material.
The solid tools would still be the answer as long as you can get any groups solid and create the negative space as another group to cut with. Exact orientation does not matter with solid tools. It will cut whatever you tell it to as long as it is a solid.
Looking at your file, you have a lot of groups already so using solid inspector to make them all solids should be a quick task and from there it is only a few clicks to subtract whatever you need cut.

Thank you Casey, I’ll give that a try.
You can only push pull faces. Your model seems to be components inside groups. You would need to double-click into the model until the thing you’re selecting is a face.
