hi people
After reading this i had idea and to my delight , found a solution for CS pro4
to my multicut / substract problem.
I don't know if this will work with other shapes - re: cutting holes in
spheres or cylinders
This is how to do it
How to make a series of holes in a Block / cube with No Jagged edges
1 : create a large Block Cube
2: either duplicate this cube and resize it to make the cutting shape
3: copy the cutting shape as many times as you need
4: Reposition theses objects so they will be where you want the holes to be
5: Click on a cutting shape and the Main Block , the select Construct, Boolean
Union to join them
repeat this operation for the rest of the cutting shapes so you have 1
joined shape
6 : then select each far end face / polygon of a long cutting shape, and
select Loft via the Construct menu
This will create a hole like with the Hex Bright function, that goes from
1 face / polygon to the other
repeat this for each Cutting area so you will have a Block with open
rectangular tubes attached to it
7 : Delete the vertex ends of the tubes
You should have a Block with clean holes in it
Note: i have tryed thickening ( both inwards and out ) the final result shape
, it works but there is a sligh bulge outwards towards the holes when it is
done

Subject: [Carrara] Hex bridge cuts holes too
Since this started in Carrara forum, replying here but will post to
Hexagon forum too.
Claudia suggested using "bridge" tool to cut a hole in an object. I
tried it and its very easy...select non-adjoining faces in the same
object and click on bridge tool...voila...a clean hole is cut thru.
Tried it on a cube with thickness added and it works thru to make a
square "solid" tube. Another new way to avoid using booleans.
Thanks for the tip Claudia!
