Add a Hole tool that allows placing holes at sketch point locations with support for multiple hole types.
When the Hole tool is activated, sketch points become visible and selectable in 3D view, making it easy to precisely position holes.
Key Features:
  • Sketch point selection - Points appear as visible, selectable in 3D view when Hole tool is active
  • Through holes - Automatically drills completely through the solid regardless of thickness
  • Blind holes - Specify exact depth for holes that don't go all the way through
  • Countersink holes - Create angled recesses for flathead screws with configurable angle and diameter
  • Counterbore holes - Create cylindrical recesses for socket head screws with configurable diameter and depth
  • Live preview - See the hole before applying, with automatic preview updates when changing parameters
  • Parameter validation - Prevents invalid configurations (e.g., countersink diameter smaller than hole diameter)
  • Auto-target detection - Automatically finds and cuts the first intersecting solid
Use Cases:
  • Creating mounting holes for fasteners
  • Adding clearance holes for bolts and screws
  • Making threaded hole preparations (countersink/counterbore before threading)
  • Drilling pilot holes for assembly
