Extrude removing material in Sheet Metal part

Hi,

I'm new in scripting.
I'm tring to sketch a circle on a SM face and to extrude it removing material. I can draw a circle, I can extrude it but I get an error with opBoolean (@opBoolean: SHEET_METAL_PARTS_PROHIBITED).

How can I use opBoolean with SM?

Thanks

    Sheet metal part modification is tricky.
    The easiest way to do it is to use the actual Boolean feature instead of opboolean. It handles all the hard stuff for you.

    if your opBoolean Call is similar to this with no other arguments
    opBoolean(context, id + "boolean1", {
                                             "tools" : tools,
                                             "operationType" : BooleanOperationType.SUBTRACTION,
                                             "targets": something
                                     });
    then change it to
    booleanBodies(context, id + "boolean1", {
                                             "tools" : tools,
                                             "operationType" : BooleanOperationType.SUBTRACTION,
                                             "targets": something
                                     }); 

    this should solve your issue

    Hi Jacob,

    it was so simple that I hadn't considered replacing the feature name :#
    It works good.

     Thank you both!!
