Cut (drill) solids by solids.

Hi Tomasz,

yes, if you have a proper tool ... maybe a proper drilling machine or a jackhammer? ;-)

But seriously: When you don't mention what product and its version do you use, how you can expect the question will be answered? Please read this forum best practices.

A sample DGN can also help, because in some situations whether the element is SmartSolid, FeatureSolid, Parametric Solid or something else may play crucial role.

Regards,

I agree with Jan, please provide more information.

There is the 'Perforator' Technology Preview which may be of interest introduced in MicroStation Connect Update 11

https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/b/microstation_blog/posts/new-in-microstation-connect-edition-update-11-perforators-technology-preview

But as mentioned this is Tech Preview so will have to find another method like using cut solid tool oBhttps://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/10784/how-to-break-a-solid or the Boolean Tools to subtract one solid from another.

Thanks Jan, my post has been updated.

Carl,

Thanks for links, 

Command Cut solids by curves allow us to cut solids only in one direction (I think...). I need to cut hole using B-spline or arc (set cutting direction or something like that).

Cheers

Hi Tomasz,

The simplest method is probably to create a separate extruded solid representing that curved opening, then use the Boolean Subtract tool to remove that solid from the slab.

There are also a few generic solids modeling related Wikis located here:
