Create a hole in a volume

I want to create a hole in this volume using another volume (the cilinder) using dendro or any other prompt that will work. I’ve tried the dendro difference and the intersection but it doesn’t create the hole.

When I try with Mesh Difference, it creates the hole, but the surface of the cilinder remains

And when I bake it, the volume it’s hallow

How can I create this hole in this volume?

Here’s a way you could do this with Isopod

To use solid difference the solid (in your case the cylinder) has to be a solid brep first.
NB: Please do not include plugins when uploading to the forum. (unless it is a question about the plugin) and/or mention it. We do not have all plugins installed (or do not want to).

thank you so much, the hole is now working! Sorry for the plugin part, I totally forgot about it, I was using it to trim the main solid.
I used the path you showed but now I’m having trouble trimming the solid, when I do it gives me what’s on the outside of what I actually want, how can I fix this? I’ve tried SplitBrep and Solid Difference, this is the closest I could get, using TrimSolid.

I will definetly check that out! But this is a project and I need to follow this methodology, but thank you so much for the tip

Good morning Luciana,
Multipipe creates SubD. To work on that, you have to (my words) turn it into Nurbs. This is done with Join Brep.
then 3x SDiff to get to the result.
