ok here are the board and the display bazel i want to place the bazel on the flat surface.
The axes of the cutting component are NOT located so that the definition’s cutting loop will fall on the face on which the instance is added…
This is basic cutting component design…
Assuming the axes are properly oriented perpendicular to the face…
A cutting component’s insertion point [z=0] must be at the level of the main loop which you expect to cut the face on to which the instance is added…
iam not understanding it can you show me in sketchup pro by editing the component?
and it does punch a hole through , the only thing is its changing the surface bottom also
First: use a Style that shows Edges.
Trying to model without seeing Edges is a disaster in waiting…
I find that if I make a suitable component of your ‘bevel’ it glues/cuts fine on your ‘wall’ box ‘panel’…
By working with inappropriate Styles and not considering a component’s axes, behavior etc you are making life much harder than it needs to be.
To then ‘punch’ a hole the two faces of the ‘wall’ must be parallel…

hi TIG so is my component wrong ? can i correct it or do i have to redraw?
I drew it by creating a shape and then following it over a rectangle path.
if i enable the edge then it shows up in the bezel surface n it was looking ugly so i turned it off.
Here’s a working Component…

It should glue and cut when placed onto one face.
Provided that the ‘wall’ onto which it is placed has parallel faces, then my HolePunch tool should cut a hole…
When modeling you need to see edges and faces.
You can have various Styles and Scene-tabs.
Model with what’s useful.
Present with hidden edges from other Scene-tabs etc later - when it right !
hi Sibaumgarthner
I raised the back surface n leveled it but its showing lines on two sides ? how can i get rid of these lines n make it one smooth surface ?
Your image shows us very little…
Some edges in the style would make us much less frustrated…
Could you upload the latest version of your model? As @TIG points out, it can be very hard to diagnose a problem looking just at an image.
I am getting the same behavior that “aliyesami” indicates in the initial post.
I too have closely followed the video tutorial by “techteacher3” - which illustrates what appears to be a VERY simple process. Yes, my Axes are aligned properly with red, green and blue indicators all in the proper configuration.
I can see a cut when placing a “GLUE & CUT” component on simple solid box (no wall extrusion). However, whenever placing the same component on a “WALL” structure which has been produced with a simple OFFSET followed by PUSH / PULL, I see not cutting whatsoever.
I have tried several methods for producing these cutting components, including flat plane “glue & cut”, single 4" extruded plane saved as a “glue & cut” component, adding two cutting planes to an extruded component, etc. Nothing seems to cut the extruded wall.
See images.
