Yep, Joe is a very busy man. I too can't live without the boolean method. I have used other ways, but it takes ages to do. Joe's idea about the cookie cutter is a good one. I will give it a go the next time. I have also noticed that converting to editable poly makes less of a mess than edit mesh. This is also a great tip posted some time ago.Udo.:-wave

Guys ...dont forget the "SHAPEMERGE" method !!It is MUCH easier and MUCH More flexible Brief tutorial or window cutting .. #1 Take your fuselage in SIDE VIEW and ensure it is Editable POLY#2 Create and adjust a SPLINE NGON to suit your window shape#3 Select Fuselage / Goto Compound object / Shapemerge then PICK SHAPE#4 The shape is "projected" onto the fuselage and CAN BE ADJUSTED !#5 Finally weld spurious vertices to create perfect window shape#6 Select Window Poly and extrude, bevel, detach, whatever you needHope this helps ?NOTE !! this is also an Excellent way of creating perfectly fitting Wingroots etc
