Thank you, I was looking for a way to easily create different sized holes in my hollowed mesh without re-importing into another software. This is super easy and well explained, much appreciated
Thank you! You explained it beautifully. Watched another video prior to this that was so difficult to follow and made it look so complicated. Very straight forward after all!
After I did the "Boolean Difference" and hit accept, It COMPLETELY DESTROYS the main object!! While I like the video, it should be noted, that if what happened to me, happens to you, there is an option BEFORE you hit "ACCEPT", uncheck the "Auto-Reduce Result" option then it should work. (It did for me).
Thanks so much! This helped me solve this problem big time. Question: Can you duplicate a hole that you created with Boolean Difference? so you don't have to recreate it for each hole?
great tutorial but what version of meshmixer did you use? im using 3.5 and the menu that showed after i dropped the cylinder was not "drop solid" it was "transform." in fact i have found no such menu anywhere nor boolean feature in edit. Am i doing something wrong? Thanks to anyone who can help. Cheers
It is different between you dropping it on an object and elsewhere, to get to that menu you need to drop it on the other object. For me it was easier to create it as a separate object and then subtract by selecting both (in the ruclips.net/video/zQHXmjlBn2k/видео.html time)
Thanks for this! One thing, I tried to use this to enlarge an existing hole I had in a model and instead of doing that it seemed to fill it. I definitely did boolean difference
my problem is that doesnt work for me. when i click boolean difference it shows the hole fine like 6:37 but when i actually click accept adn to does it it doesnt make the hole and just warps the original object. dunno y it does this
Everytime I try to make a hole on my design I keep getting an error with 2 blue lines and one red one. I am trying to make a socket for a lithophane and for some reason it will not work. Uhgg how do I fix it?
Disappointing when tutorials don't actually explain what any of the settings do. You say "if you're happy with it, press Accept". What if I'm not happy with it? How do I tweak the results? This kind of basic instruction didn't need to be a video, a simple paragraph of text could have explained everything you did. If you're going to do a video, explain what the settings mean. Give it some value rather than just basic "do this" institutions.
Some people prefer visual examples even if it's something as simple as this just because you werent happy with the results it does not mean that it shouldn't be a video.
Finally. A video that just gets to the point. Thankyou!
Thank you. Clear, concise and comprehensive. Just what we beginners need.
Dude thank you so much. You don't know how long I've been looking for something like this
groovy tutorial. One of the cleanest and most direct ones I've found for MM. thanks!

Master! God bless you for sharing such knowledge and more!
thank you so much, you saved my project. it is so good to follow.
Thank you for the help. Exactly what I needed
Thank you, I was stumped as to how you changed the length of a dropped cylinder :)

Saved my whole project with this comment , thank you!
excellent, thanks!
Crazy how this is coming from a health channel. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the explanation!
Thx u bro!! greetings from argentina , good tutorial
Wow, that really helped me. Thanks!!!
Nice tutorial, thanks a lot!

Thanks, this was helpful and clearly explained!
amazing tutorial, how can i learn how to make different shapes for the hole? i need a non geometical hole

thank this realy helped
Why does mine keep filling the hole after doing this?.
Thanks for this! One thing, I tried to use this to enlarge an existing hole I had in a model and instead of doing that it seemed to fill it. I definitely did boolean difference
The preview even shows it making the hole like it should do so Im a bit lost
I was here looking for an answer for the same issue. I just figured it out- un check 'Auto-reduce result' before clicking accept.
@@thewarthogproject I did exactly that and it still does the same. it wont cut a hole
@@thewarthogproject Thanks for this!! I had the same problem
@@thewarthogproject thank you! Worked great for me. I appreciate your help 😊😊
Bolean subtract no long an option in meshmixer when dragging solids onto the space...
thank you very much i love you
thank you very good video

ctrl+shift+O to open Object browser
meshmixer is absolutely horrible
