Yes, it’s possible, but only one face at a time. If you need to cut a solid, you’ll require a different solution or a combination of two components. You can find more about this discussion here: [Cutting double wall without a plugin, how? - #20 by slbaumgartner](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/cutting-double-wall-without-a-plugin-how/150930/20).

When creating a component that cuts only one face, be sure to select the “cut opening” option during its creation.
