sketchUcation

2D Boolean for SketchUp can trim 2D components and groups with respect to a selected face. It also has the ability to translate or pushpull faces just after the Boolean operation, based on material name.

Default material could also be used, but then there is no way of distinguishing any individual face. The benefit of using a 2D Boolean this way is that no cutting geometry has to be created more then the face in context, and it is faster processing with less geometry created. Also non solids could be used. The result can be exported as geometry which a material cannot. Crisper results in Layout than using materials.

There are currently 3 modes available in this plugin - Trim, Subtract and Extrude

As can be seen the component adapt to the shape of face. Face is not altered in any way. Neither is the component definition, which means this operation will not affect other instances in the model.
