Re: Another idiots guide needed...
Doing the cutout in the library certainly is the best idea. However, it is possible to do this on an ad-hoc basis too.

When an item from a furniture library is imported, so are all the properties that goes with it. This is stored within the SH3D file, more specifically the Home.xml within the (compressed) SH3D file.

I would not exactly recommend extracting Home.xml and edit it (and most certainly not without back-up), but anyone familiar with xml (or even html) should be able to add the cutout to an object in a home. I would recommend using a home with another cutout to see the format. For cutouts it is similar to the library properties (whereas sashes and some of the other properties are stored in radians instead of degrees).

Whether you use the library .properties file or xml, you will still need to get the SVG path right. Also not black magic, but, well, as you know, a bit daunting until you know how...
