How to create multiple holes with random radiuses in a slab?

Hi Everyone! I would really appreciate if somebody could solve my specific inquiry.

I need to create multiple holes (+2500) with specific randomize radiuses on a slab.
[/size]

I know how to create one hole at a time. I also know how to create multiple holes using copy/multiplying the first hole to create a matrix. Sadly non of this options can be use in this case since I have to follow a specific pattern created previously. I am using algorithmic scripting in MAYA to create a parametric pattern in several 1.5mts. x 3,0mts surfaces. The 2D object is exported to Archicad as .DWG or .DXF to give it thickness and to create a Library object with different orientations. The objects are inserted in an Archicad project that is finally exported to Ecotect, Radiance and Equest for the Energy Modeling.

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

I also tried exporting the object already as a perforated surface from MAYA but Archicad seemed not to "read" the solid model (.dwg, .dxf)

Regards,

Diego
