flashbo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hello & thank you in advance for your help. I have read a few of the similar threads & have not found the answer to my problem. I have a solid that was created by extruding a regioned profile. I have made a lofted item (Yellow), that I will have to subrtract from the solid (Green) to create a hole. When using the subtract command, I recieve the following error. "The selected surface was ignored. Surfaces cannot be subtracted from solids or regions. At least two solids, surfaces, or coplanar regions must be selected." I have tried convtosolid as well & to no avail. I am at a loss on what to do... Any help would be greatly appreciated, Flashbo G2.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEANT Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Use the SLICE command, with the "Surface" sub-option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbo Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Hi Seant, That seemed to work, but it did not actually create a "hole", it became part of the solid. When I switch to hidden, I cannot see thru the hole. I am self taught in 3D, so I'm sorry about my ignorance in advance.

flashbo Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hi Seant, I solved the problem... well rather avoided it, lol. I ended up just making a solid profile and it was a tiny bit more work, but it did the job. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
