Double Cut
Windows and doors that cut through both faces of a thick wall — and stay cut as you edit.
SketchUp's cutting components only cut one face — fine for a film-set wall, useless for a real one. Double Cut makes window and door components cut through both faces of a thick wall, automatically.
The openings stay live: move the window, the cut moves; resize the door, the opening follows. For NZ residential modelling — where walls have actual framing depth — it removes one of SketchUp's most persistent annoyances.
One perpetual licence — pay once, future upgrades included. Works with SketchUp 2017 or newer, on Windows and Mac.
Cuts both faces
Place a Double Cut-enabled window or door on a double-sided wall and the opening goes right through — no manual push-pull, no hand-patched reveals.
Stays live as you edit
Move, copy or scale the component and the opening updates in real time — design changes stop costing you rework on every affected wall.
Fits your normal workflow
It works with standard SketchUp components and tools — your existing window and door library can be made double-cutting rather than replaced.
Double Cut FAQs
Do I need SketchUp Pro to run it?
Yes — extensions run in the SketchUp desktop app (2017 or newer), so you need Pro or Studio. Windows and Mac both work.
Is it a subscription?
No — a lifetime licence: pay once, never expires, future upgrades included.
Can I use my existing window and door components?
Yes — you don't have to rebuild your library. A component needs a closed loop of cutting edges at its top level; if yours doesn't have one, trace one around the perimeter and use Refresh Cut.
What happens if I remove the component?
The opening it cut heals with it — the wall closes back up, which is exactly what you want when a window gets deleted in a revision.
Which other plugins pair well with it?
Profile Builder for the framing and trim around those openings, and SketchPlus for general production speed — all from the same developer, all stocked and supported here.
