I was making a garage with a sloping roof and felt the procedure of cutting my facade boards (along the top, according to the slope) was suboptimal. I did it with solid tools - the Trim alternative, but had to click each individual board. In my illustration, you see the solid I used to cut with ab…

I seem to recall Eneroth’s Solid Tools doing this batch trim operation.Yep, found it. In this example I select a bunch of 2x4s, click on the Trim Tool and then click on the cutting object. [bulk trim] Click here to visit the Extension warehouse page for the Solid Tools https://extensions.sketchu…

I agree that it would be very handy to be able to select a number of groups as well as just a single one, either as the cutter or the cut items.

Seems like it ought to be feasible. It would just require a way to tell the tool when you are finished selecting the first set, finished selecting the second set, and ready to go. Of course, this would likely cause the execution time to explode, as the complexity of most solid operations grows com…

Looks very neat. The illustration is very helpful. I will try it out :grinning: !

Yes, right, possible, however I sort of like each facade plank to be its own object.
