Description
Create Holes is a 3ds Max modifier designed to streamline hole creation directly from selected vertices or polygons. It provides precise control over hole shapes, geometry optimization, and advanced features such as outer loops, extrusion, caps, and subdivision. A built-in presets manager allows you to save and reuse custom configurations for faster and more consistent modeling workflows.
Key features
-
Customizable Hole Shapes
Choose between circular or n-gon shapes, and adjust parameters such as side count, radius, distortion, and rotation angle. -
Mesh Optimization
Automatically optimize geometry with adjustable thresholds while preserving shape quality. -
Outer Loop Creation
Quickly define outer loops with precise control over amount, segment count, and optional outlining. -
Extrude & Bevel
Add depth and refinement with extrusion, beveling, and smooth pinching controls. -
Cap Options
Customize cap inset, segment count, and advanced options such as triangular caps or step removal. -
Subdivision
Enhance the surface smoothness with iterative subdivisions and connectivity options. -
Presets Manager
Save and apply frequently used configurations for consistent results.
Lite version limitations
- Mesh optimization options are not available in hole shape settings
- Extrude, bevel, and cap features are disabled
- Subdivision is limited to a single iteration
