Tired of manually adjusting door and window openings in your SketchUp projects? With Double-Cut, you can automatically create perfect openings that update as you move your components. In this video, we take it a step further by using live components that remain fully editable, even after applying Double-Cut. This allows you to customize and reposition doors and windows while ensuring that openings remain accurate.

Watch as we use a hotel room model to demonstrate how Double-Cut seamlessly handles door and window openings, while keeping live components editable for future design changes. Say goodbye to the time-consuming task of manually adjusting geometry on two surfaces, and let Double-Cut do the work for you—all while maintaining the flexibility of live components for ongoing edits.
