Another "Won't work" question regarding solid "Delete Hole" failure

Rhino
1

I’ve been modeling this clamp and decided to replace the bolt and nut adjustment with a bicycle seat post cam lever/nut. However, when I try to use the solid “_DeleteHoles” command I’ve been using in similar situations, nothing happens. I used '_testMarkOTEdges that I recently learned from Bobbi and got no results. And other analysis commands show no problems. I know I can remove the faces and untrim. I just don’t understand why the delete hole is not working when it has before.

It works on this part fine in V8 and V9, with the caveat that “DeleteHoles” no longer actually exists, it’s functionality is just part of Untrim now.

Hmmm? I’m using RH8, and it wouldn’t work. Thanks for the response. I removed the faces and untrimmed, and the part is in the 3D printer now. I going to let this one go.

Hmm works here in 8, what V8 are you on?

The command is _UntrimHoles - since Rhino 6. Back in Rhino 5 there was a _DeleteHole, but not a _DeleteHoles. Your memory is playing tricks…

I’m on Rhino 8. There is the icon in the solid tool-panel that when I mouse over it I get these options. Left click is “Delete hole”, and right click is “Delete all holes”.

Click on each of those and look at the command line to see what command actually runs…
