Make a hole in a surface
I am a beginner. I want to take a surface of revolution and punch a hole in it, as with a cylinder punch. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Make a hole in a surface
I have attached a two-image sequence of a hole "punched" in a surface of revolution. Is this what you have in mind?

Re: Make a hole in a surface
Many thanks for your efforts to help. What I wanted was to puncture the surface of revolution by the cylinder to be able to see into the interior of the surface. Is this possible to do? I am modeling an electrical housing Red Dot GALB-2 and it has two threaded bushings into which 3/4" pipe threaded pipe nipples are screwed in. Thanks again for your interest --- A2D2

Re: Make a hole in a surface
I think that the "Surface Hide/Unhide feature might do what you want. I have attached two more images to illustrate this. The first is an object with a surface of revolution. A bolt has been inserted through the first object. The top surface of the object has been selected. I then used the Surface Hide/Unhide feature to hide the selected surfaces to produce the second image. Now the inside surfaces of the object can be seen by using the 3D window.

Re: Make a hole in a surface
P.S. Use the "surface hiding" script function, not the Visibility-Hide function.

Re: Make a hole in a surface
Thanks again for your valuable advice. Here is my key question: If you remove the bolt, can you tilt the 3-D view to see through the hole that the bolt previously went through? Best wishes --- A2D2
