Movie - making a round hole in a rectangle
A common question is: How you make a round hole in a square with AC3D? The boolean plugin works with 3D objects only, so cannot be used in this case.
This movie shows one of the possible methods. The processes used: - create an elipse (which is a polyline surface) - a single click will create a regular circle - set the surface type to 'poly' - select Surface->Make-Hole - in Vertex selection mode, select outer vertices and 'squeeze' the vertices to line them up. http://www.ac3d.org/ac3d/forumpics/roundhole.htm The result is easily extruded to create a box with a round hole through it. |
