Hi All,

I am trying to make a couple of holes in my cube mesh but the Hole node does not seem to work.

I am attaching an image of my setup. What am I doing wrong?

NOTE: I have tried adjusting the distance and angle parameters but they seem to have no effect.

hi,
thats not how the hole sop works.. its more of a projection type of hole. and well i wouldnt use it for polymodeling. Its good to work with vector files and cut vector files with it.

look at this screenshot how the hole sop works.

first screenshot shows a setup how to do this by modeling. on a cube.

1. select the face you want.
2. polyextrude and inset.
3- edge divide with share new points on
4. select face only cause now you'll be in edge selection. press 4 and shift-s to this.
5. add smooth sop.

cheers!
