Problem with "Hole" Visibility while Import
Hello Dear Forum,
im stil using sh3d for a while.
Now i have a problem with the "hole"-visibility from objects.
Using sh3d 5.7, today update to 6.0 - same problem.

1) 1st Hole - with Rounded Door from BuildIn Library
2) 2nd Hole - with WallOpeningInvisible
3) Red Arc - Rounded Door from Build-in-lib export to *.obj
then reimport with door/window

At that moment the object is included in the wall, the hole is going lost? Same when i include it in the "Invisible Wall".
This is happening with every Objects i import.

See the screenshot here:

I spent a couple of hours to find a solution, but i didn't find
helpful informations.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong, or what's wrong?
Thank you for help.
Peter

Re: Problem with "Hole" Visibility while Import
Why exporting / reimporting models found in the default catalog? You'll lose their cutout.
You should just use the models in the furniture catalog.

Re: Problem with "Hole" Visibility while Import
thank you for the reply,

Export/Reimport was for example - when i construct a "special hole" with different objects, export it for use in the library.

But the same problem is when i download this object:
http://www.sweethome3d.com/models/roundDoorFrame.zip
When i import it (door/window option checked) there is no cutout in the wall?
Same with the "arc.zip" i've downloaded from this thread.

Thank you.

For a few versions ago is more simple.

@dorin - WTF! How did you create this SVG-path? I always spend hours for creating a simple cutout for my boats and it would take my hole life to create a cutout like this one in your picture!

Re: Problem with "Hole" Visibility while Import
Well, when You have a hammer over head You make a hole instantly.

Now the steeps:
1. Peeve Your wife.
2. Export the mannequin as object; import as door
3. Insert it in a straight single (not splinted) wall. Will make the cut over contour.
4. Modify furniture -> Modify texture -> select all -> Invisible ->OK
NOTE: It don't work on angled or curved walls even for simple forms.

Re: Problem with "Hole" Visibility while Import
hmm... I haven't thought it's as simple as this. It seems I'm often thinking to far... But I'm not sure if I can adapt this solution to my problem...

Re: Problem with "Hole" Visibility while Import
Kvepete - if you want only cut-outs, without frame etc, make single face (any shape without holes).
Example:
