Box Cutter - Blender addon, not cutting?

Method14253

Hi,
when I click drag then release to create a cube which is supposed to cut into a shape it creates a new shape instead. I seem to almost never get this add on to work please help

I highly suggest you to post this in the Boxcutter discord or blenderartist thread, which is regularly checked by the devs. I love muh Polycount and would like to see more Blender threads here, but when it's about an addon that has an enormours help service elsewhere...

Is the cube you want to cut through selected? It doesn't know where to cut when you don't select anything as far as I know. Could be wrong tho, I haven't used it in a few weeks.

I had already sent out a message to the discord, the devs do not always solve the issue which is why it is a good idea to get the discussion out to multiple sources. I recently had this exact problem with Daz3d and their technical team over a gen 8 model actually being broken to which a workaround was found from another source.

Got it Happy to see you were able to find a solution here.
