cut hole around vertex
Hello,
I would like to know is there a script that will do this:
for example if you have a plane 4*4 polys. If I want to make round hole in the center of it I have to create verices and edges (shape of hole) and than delete polys to get hole. Is there a script that would cut round hole on poly around selected vertex on desired radius?. I know holes can be cut with boolean but I don't prefer booleans cause of bad geometry that they make.
Thank you,
Alex

Also check out the GeoPoly
Also check out the GeoPoly command. You find it in the polyboost category

Thank You, That's it. :)

well, try this
well, try this then...
(execute the code line by line to see what each command does)
note(!) - cut this !REG3XP1!> from the code (at line 3), this is some forum ghost addition and not a part of the code.
p = Plane isSelected:on convertTo p Editable_Poly !REG3XP1!> max modify mode subobjectlevel = 1 polyop.setVertSelection p #{7, 9, 13, 17, 19} update p p.ConnectVertices() polyop.setVertSelection p #{13} update p p.chamferVertices 4.0 open:true -- *note below update p subobjectlevel = 0 -- note: looks like 'open:true' in chamferVertices() is broken! -- so... delete the face: polyop.deleteFaces p #{21} -- and... thats it :)

thank you, I'm already using
thank you,
I'm already using that method, but I would like to automate next steps, which are: select edges between these 4 vertices, add vertex in the middle of each edge and then scale 4 newly created vertices to make the hole round. Is there something I could do to automate this process?
