What is your easiest way to make a through-hole in a 3D solid?

For a simple cylindrical hole, I usually create a cylinder at the required location and then use the SUBTRACT command

.

The workflow is straightforward: create the solid → create the cylinder with the required diameter and depth → position it through the solid → use SUBTRACT to remove it.

 

For example, CYLINDER can be used for the cutting solid, followed by SUBTRACT to create the actual hole.

 

For repeated holes, ARRAY can also save a lot of time instead of creating each cutting cylinder manually.

 

How do you normally create holes in your 3D models — SUBTRACT, PRESSPULL, or another method?
