Then draw your component on it and this way only the component will be selected, being you would have to include the plane on purpose. One thing to add that I got from watching Matt Donley (MasterSketchUp tutorials) is to make the drawing plane a group right from the get-go. Howdy CD,… and just drew a 4 pain fold out window and followed the steps. Here is an old video (SU 6 I think!) running you through the steps You can now save it to your local component library and or upload it to the 3DWH for use in your future projects. Your component should now reside on the cutting plane and you should be able to find it in the In Model area of the Component Browser.
Provide an appropriate name … and then select Create In the component creation dialog, “Replace selection with component”, Cut Opening and Glue to: “Any” should be selected.The axis in the component preview should be flattened and laying against the cutting plane. Once selected, go to the menu bar and select Edit > Make Component.Make sure the cutting plane is not selected. Select all the geometry making up your component.The area utilizing the cutting plane must stay within the bounds of the cutting plane surface. Draw your component on the cutting plane surface.*Be sure that it is larger than the component. It won’t matter if it is a ground plane or a vertical plane as the component in this example will automatically align with ANY surface. Create a surface that will be serve as the location of the cutting plane for your component and the drawing plane from which your component will be created.In this example, the cutting component will be created independent of any design project.

As my first How To post, here is a method of creating a component that cuts through a surface.Īlthough you can activate the cutting feature on an existing component, it can become a complicated knowing how it will cut.
