Punch holes in ROD object

snee

I have a ROD object, metal filled with contacts. I need to take this ROD object and ouch holes, evenly spaced through the middle of this shape. The hole should remove the metal, and any contacts whcih overlap the hole.

I tried following this solution, but  it will not remove the contacts as desired.

    Hi Shane,

    Depending on whether the shapes are choppable in the multi-part ROD object, you might be able to use rodAddMPPChopHole. Otherwise you could use an approach as in that article, but use rodUnNameShape first to convert it from being a ROD object into a collection of non-ROD objects. This will stop ROD from keeping it as a self-consistent multi-part ROD object.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
