Flex Tools with ConDoc Tools

[[email protected]]

I’m using FlexTools to speed up my work flow since making doors and windows with SketchUp native tools is very time consuming.  FlexTools is working great, except I’m loosing the wall cuts.  This happens randomly after I’ve created the door or window.  What is the solution?

That was my experience too, but not to worry!  I found that “unlinking” the WallCutter openings made them more predictable.  So I used the live cuts while designing, then eventually unlinked them…

Thank Mike. By “unlinking” do you mean changing the Wall Cutter function for each FlexTool component from WallCutter to Regular, and then manually cut the ConDoc wall?

When you “Unlink”, it leaves the opening in the wall… makes it permanent by removing the surfaces.  I found this to be a very acceptable step in the process, once the design is close to finished just unlink.  It’s not that hard if you need to scoot them around or edit later.  Let me know if that clears things up!
