Hey all,

I am cyrrently modeling a gun for a mod and I am wondering how I would go about making holes in a piece of a pologon object.

Here are some examples of what I mean:

Any help would be great, Thanks.

if you trying to make the barrel, just use create -> polygons -> pipe, and voila (assuming you're using 7.0)

otherwise, do a booleans operation:

1. select the object you wish to have the whole
2. shift select the object you wish to have cut the whole (i.e. cylinder with caps)
3. polygons->booleans->difference

also, if you are planning on doing any smooth functions, do your booleans afterwards, or else it won't work...

goodluck
