Default Re: Make a hole in a surface

ok, I tried to apply this procedure to my app but I made a mess. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

here is my model so far with the mistake:

the parts with the red X are the mistakes. what I was trying to do was cut a
tube out of the center of the 11 conic sections of the teardrop stack of cones, the idea is that the long thin cylinder down the center (a copy of it is wire framed) I wanted to cut out of the 8 cones that make up the other shape that I red x'ed. what happened when I did the cut and such was a duplicate structure of which I was able to take out the center cylinder. I realize now all I did was a cut and paste of the original, but I'm sitll not getting how this knife thing is supposed to cut through the 9 of the 11 conic sections of the main body.

TIA,
Jleslie
