Creating a hole in a Sub-D model

BreaK- · Jan 2011

Hi guys, the title says it all really. I need to create a hole in this sub-d model of a bike frame I'm currently working on. Im having a little trouble getting my head around how to go about doing it.

There are a lot of important edge loops which intersect the hole and obviously make it mis-shaped in some areas where the edge loops are close together. Are there any ways of getting around this?

If you guys could shed some light on the issue I'd love it!

Thanks again.

Thanks guys. Already checked those threads out. I can make a hole in the model....the thing I'm having trouble with is the amount of intersecting edge loops which interfere with the symmetry of the circle created. There are 2 hard surface edges which run right through the hole and continue down the frame....which is making it difficult.
