A circular hole on the side of a cube
Is there a way of openning a SMOOTH circular hole on one cide of a cube object WITHOUT using BOOLEAN operation between cube and a cylinder (or extruded circle etc)?
ie. Is there a way of selecting cut region on the cube with spline object ?
or any other method?Thx

You can do this with Arndt’s Edge Extrude Pro plugin, available in the Dairy Store. Can also be done manually with a bit of work. What you would do is subdivide the cube side, project the circle spline onto it, and use snapping with “spline” enabled to created a circular group of faces. Then select the polys inside the circle/spline & delete.

You could just make a cube editable_ select two opposite sides_inner extrude_select the two extruded polygons_Use the bridge tool across these polygons( you may have to turm on the Xray option in the Display menu)_select all the sides without holes in and hold down the period key and left grag_make a few knife cuts close to the top and bottom of the hole to tighten up the edges.
If in doubt scream and shout.

Sorry I forgot to say put the cube in a Hypernurbs.

Come to think of it, the easiest way to do this is to create an alpha and map it to the cube’s side. 🙂
