1 click - 1000 holes! Fast drilling of many holes in many 3D solids. Subtract with a gap. Save subtrahend.

Trial

The plugin radically accelerates the work of all who design 3D furniture, woodworking, or other products with a lot of holes.

The standard command "Subtract" requires you to select each item individually and destroys subtracted solids. Because of this, work is unbearably long. Now you can select all the details and holes in one frame, press the Drill button, and wait quietly until the program does all the work itself. The program itself finds details,  finds hole-solids (it must be on a special layer called “Holes”), and subtracts every hole. One hole can penetrate a lot of detail; you do not need to make copies of the subtracted solid. Details are not glued together (as does command Subtract).

If you find it inconvenient to separate solids by layers, then pay attention to the Solid Subtraction (SSub) and Gap commands. They work similarly to the usual subtraction and request 2 groups of solids.

In addition, the program can:

  • Make the gap between the parts for easy docking.

  • Subtract the hole-solid from blocks and nested blocks.

  • Subtract from the solids in the assembly blocks. Including piercing blocks with solid-holes located in the model.

  • Make a gap even if the parts did not intersect but only touched.

  • separates the solid, which, after drilling, fell apart into parts.

  • Keep the subtrahend solid.

  • Use pre-selected objects.

  • Show the progress bar and display statistics to the console.

  • You can configure which layer will be used for the hole.

  • The program can query to select the Hole layer on each Drill command.

The plugin can work with 3D solids only. It does not work with Meshes, Regions and Surfaces.

Regardless of the Autodesk® AutoCAD® localization language, you can switch the plugin to English, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese (PRC), Spanish, French, or Turkish localization.
