Double Cut from mind.sight.studios

[@_HMCB_]

As someone new to SketchUp, I can’t imagine why this functionality isn't already built in to the app. It seems so fundamental to building designs.

Bonjour, j ai acheté ce plug, mais .. il faut que toutes les couches soient dans le même groupe, et attention cela plante sketchup (version 2022), et une amélioration devrait intervenir sur les jouées de percement qui sont doublées entre les faces coupées et le composant.

Hi Aron, i have suggestion for a video. I am practicing by drawing a car engine with most of the conponents. I think it is a good project to get good with sketchup. Because of all the tecniques needed to do it. But i can not see how to draw the timing belt with all the teeths on the strait parts and on the curved parts to match the pulleys. Can you give me a link at least if there is. Thank you, i love your way to explain. Keep going !

WILL this cut through more than two faces? and can it cut through a group. and is it good if i want to create a lock component with cuts ready ?

[@SketchUp]

No, being Double-Cut it cuts through two faces. And the cutting Component has to be inserted directly onto a face, not on the outside of a Group. This video goes through creating a component that will work with Double-Cut: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2itgISoft9jjsk

@@SketchUp Thanks

[@bropitt]

will it cut through a wall assembly with multiple groups, such as a stud wall group and a exterior material group?

[@SketchUp]

No, the cutting Component has to be inserted directly onto a face.

Aron can you please make a video on how to make your own scrapbook symbols and and add them to the default ones in layout please and how to use the symbols on a foundation plan,floor plan etc.Thank you.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWXYmqZnd7t1aNU - Not Aaron presenting but perhaps it'll answer some of your questions.

[@billferrol4202]

You mentioned at the end it has to be placed in context. Does that mean the 3 walls you made were not grouped and just loose geometry?

[@SketchUp]

That's right-Aaron's walls are loose geometry. They could have been grouped, but you would need to enter the Group and insert the cutting component directly onto the face for Double-Cut to cut properly.

Great video thanks for the content this will be very useful for me and my workflow I do have one question what happens to the geometry that you're cutting through? Normally when I do something like this it creates two or three more faces onto the surface could you show the line cuts

[@SketchUp]

It's similar to what happens to geometry when using a traditional cutting Component. This video may answer some of your questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omfcd2iaj6lmn9k
