Problem with holes

gonzaloantonicelli

So I'm making a sword (a keyblade from Kingdom hearts) and I need to create a hole with the shape of kh's crest in my handle, the problem is I thought it was done with boolean operator modifier but it doesn't seem to work, instead it erases my whole handle... any help is much appreciated, i leave ss below:




How I want it to be:

edit: I just realized that the problem is with the crest, as i added a new cylinder mesh and i could do a circle hole in the blade , maybe because i have more than only the crest (got some spikes and stuff in the same "...object group?". So how can I transfer them or freeze them?

Not quite sure what your problem is, if you have the newest Blender you will have N-gons, which means you could just cut a hole into a face.

Ahh I see. Try cutting it out with the knife tool.
