Quick Question: How to Cut Surface with Solid

I can’t find how to do this anywhere!

Say I want to use this cylinder to cut a hole in this plane:

If I try to use Boolean Difference, this happens:


Not a hole.

(This is for a more complex application, so I can’t just draw a circle and do Trim or Split.)

Is there any way cut holes in a surface using closed polysurfaces?

Hello- Split and Trim will both work here - for Trim you need to click inside the cylinder to trim away the hole, so wireframe display may be better. Split will leave all the pieces in place and you’ll need to select and delete the bits you don’t want.

-Pascal

Use split or trim is better fir this action
