How to make a decent hole?

[toast]

just offhand, if it's a poly model then just select the area you want to bore out and extrude inwards. You can then shape it however you need, just make sure if you're going ot smooth it out later that you add a lot of detailaround the edges to keep the shape consistent. Hope that helps...

As far as I understand your suggestion you mean that you won't see anything through the hole but that it looks like a hole.
I think ou mena this

That the hole goes through the whole object so you can see through the hole what's behind.

ok I'm still a bit confused so I'll offer two suggestions. First, if you want a complete hole, kinda like the tube primitive, then you need to inwards extrude both top and bottom, delete those faces and weld/create new faces as necessary

If you want a box with the hole on the top but still able to see the backfaces, then delete the top face, then the inside ones. Then apply a material to it and check '2-sided' or whaterver it says. That or at render time force all objects to render double sided.

I think the second one was closer to what you wanted. Sorry if I confused you, hope this helps!

Thanks for your help

The frist one is what I mean. But there must be and other way than inwards extruding from both sides. When I get home I try your sugestion but there must be other way that 's much more simple.

Thanks again. Ihpe it will work

Ok the inward extruding from both side's work but is isn't way of making hole's that you can do on each object.
You have to have a segment parallel on both side's.
Comon People isn't there a other way??
