Cutting components are special components that you can easily create with SketchUp. To create a cutting component:
- Create a component that contains a series of edges that form a closed shape (like a rectangle). These edges will be used to cut the opening (cutting edges).
- Make sure the Component settings are set to ‘Cut Opening’
- Make sure the Component is set to glue to a face.
- Make sure the component axis is set so that cutting edges on directly are on the X-Y (Red-Green) plane.
