Hole Cutter

Hi I had made a hole and i putting into components down list Now I creat a panel and i put this hole so i have two issues

1 Before i make the panel component the hole works (i mean i have the drill)

2 If i make the panel component the hole doesn’t works (i mean i have the hole but without the drill)

Why is this happening? How can i solve it ( I want to first make the panel component and then make the hole.

Regards Kostas

So you gave a component the hole cutting property? If so, in order for the component to cut the opening it has to be placed directly on a face. If that face is inside a component or group container then you have to put the hole cutting component inside that object. It’s just the way the hole cutting works. You need to understand that. That’s the way to solve it.

I can underestand it Please look the img

The hole cutting object must be inside the component or group in order to cut the opening. It won’t work if the hole cutter is outside of the component or group.

On the left, a component with hole cutting enabled placed on a raw face. On the right, the face is inside a group and the hole cutter is outside of that group. No hole.

OK if i understand well first i make the hole and then made the panel component

You can make a component of the panel geometry and the hole cutter.

No but that wouldn’t help in your situation anyway. What are these holes for in your panels? Shelf pins?

Is there any plugin or extension for the drilling holes into the components?

You can use the Solid tools to “drill” holes into your panels. Or better Eneroth Solid Tools or Bool Tools 2.
