Shooting multiple holes to fill with magic wand

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to make multiple holes to fill (or slab, mesh etc.) with subtract from polygon -tool by using magic wand? Something similar like ctrl-clicking line ends or copy multiple elements pressing ctrl+alt while dragging.

Now it is frustrating because I have to click every time fill's edge first and after that a hole I want to make.

•If you draw the holes first using lines then you can Magic Wand inside them without having to restart
• Also when you select the Slab you can start drawing holes on it without first having to click an edge. For this the procedure is:
•• 1. Select Slab
•• 2. Right Click and Select -Select and Activate Tool or click on the Slab Icon
•• 3. Start Drawing the Holes

Thanks. Actually, the first one doesn't work for me. If I click existing polygons with subtract tool, I have to re-active it after each click.

But the second guide works with existing lines too. If I active fill, and then activate fill tool, I can space-click the holes I've drawn before. That was exactly what I've looking for!

The first one and the second wand are the same thing except that in one you use the magic wand and in the other you draw them. So you figure out both.

If the holes are all the same, you can create multiples of the first hole.
To do this activate the slab tool
Place your cursor on the edge of the hole so the mercedes cursor is active and click to select the hole (not the slab).
Using the multiply command or drag-a-copy(s) you can then create additional holes the same size.

You don't use the pet palette subtraction for this method. Just select the slab, and with the slab tool active, magic wand inside or on the edge of each polygon.
