I know by now you Claire (@EosDawn ) will have seen my follow up post about an easier way of making Kreg Pocket holes, but for later readers, I thought I’d add these links to related topics.
[EDITED from the original, in the light of experience developing the components. This post contains the latest two, which work as expected.]
I’ve done some work on making Kreg pocket hole components, in the end settling on two variants.
They replace my former 3D Warehouse Kreg pocket holes and screws components, with greater ease of use, and have been uploaded there in their (hopefully final) current form.
The final two versions, each contain eight separate Kreg pocket hole components, one fo…
The cylinder is a component, the rectangle is a group. The goal is to embed the cylinder into the rectangle and end up with the union, as the xray view of the rectangle shows. (see screenshot below).
The correct result was obtained by converting the cylinder into a solid. Since the rectangle is a solid, then using solid tools - subtract, produces the desired result. As we know, Solid tools require both objects to be solids.
