Re: Stencil or Drill Spline/Path into a Polygon Object???
by Matt Stewart on Oct 28, 2009 at 5:46:59 pm

There are many ways you could do this. Easiest way is to make a box on layer 1. Then in layer 2 with box in background layer so you can see where it is, make a cylinder, then place the cylinder so that it intercects the box where you want it. Then with layer 1 active, "the box" and the cylinder in the background, use the solid drill tool and choose slice or stencil. This will give you the plygon on the box you were looking for, then you can bevel or extrude the circle polygon on the box as you like.

Hope this helps.

I would also suggest googling Lightwave modeling tutorials and looking on youtube as well.
