Drill

Push a shape right through everything.

Keyboard: B

How to use it

1. Draw the shape of the hole on the face you want it through - a circle, a rectangle, anything closed.
2. Take the drill and click that shape.
3. It goes through whatever it crosses, however many walls that is.

Drill or push/pull?

Push/pull pushes a face back until it meets something, and stops there. The drill does not stop - it cuts all the way through and lines the tunnel on the way. For a duct through two walls, or a bolt hole through a flange, this is the one.

Worth knowing

• Where a new hole crosses one that is already there, both are opened into each other, so a tee comes out as a tee rather than as two pipes that happen to overlap.
• Type a distance to stop it short of going through.
• /holes afterwards draws any edge that nothing meets in red, which is how you check the cut closed properly. See solids and 3D printing.
