Hole in a Mesh?

Anonymous

Hi,
Can one make a hole in a Mesh short of using SEO? If we can do it for a slab why not a Mesh?
Thanks,
joseph

You can.
Select the mesh.
Select the mesh tool.
Set the mesh tool to a polygon.
Select the "insert new node" from the pet pallet.
Start drawing your hole. When you get to the starting node of the hole it will prompt if you want to create a hole or add new points.

Wow, thanks,
I really like the add the new Points option; it can save a lot of time adding points. Guess ArchiTerra is not needed any more.
Thanks Again,
Joseph
