Re: Stencil or Drill Spline into a Polygon Object???

What you would do is extrude the spline and then use the boolean object to cut out the depression. The only problem with that is that it produces funky geometry and you can't really fillet the edges.

Arndt (see forum leaders) has a plugin called edge extrude pro that goes some way to help. What it allows you to do is project the spline onto the mesh and then use the plugin to cut a hole based on the spline's shape. It provides an all-quad border. Then you can extrude the hole edges down but you have to build the bottom manually.
