What it does
Drill finds hole solids on a selected layer and subtracts them from multiple 3D solids in one operation. A single hole can pass through multiple details without copying the hole solid. The plugin can create gaps between parts, work with blocks and assembly blocks, separate solids that split after drilling, and preserve the subtrahend. It works with 3D solids only, not meshes, regions, or surfaces.
Key capabilities
from the Autodesk App Store listingMulti-solid drilling
Subtracts hole solids from multiple 3D solids in one operation.
Layer-based hole selection
Uses a configurable layer for hole solids and can ask for the hole layer during each drill command.
Gap creation
Creates a gap between parts, including parts that only touch without intersecting.
Block subtraction
Subtracts hole solids from blocks, nested blocks, and solids in assembly blocks.
Subtrahend preservation
Keeps the solid used for subtraction.
Post-drilling separation
Separates a solid when drilling causes it to split into multiple parts.
Progress reporting
Shows a progress bar and outputs statistics to the console.
Preselection support
Allows objects to be selected before starting the drill command.
Use cases
- 3D furniture and woodworking designs with many holes can be processed in one drilling operation.
- Product designs containing assemblies or nested blocks can use hole solids located within the model.
Who it's for
The vendor names people designing 3D furniture, woodworking, and other products with many holes.

What the vendor says
«The plugin radically accelerates the work of all who design 3D furniture, woodworking, or other products with a lot of holes. The standard command "Subtract" requires you to select each item individually and destroys subtracted solids. Because of this, work is unbearably long. Now you can select all the details and …»
