Hi I’m new to Shapr3D. I have a model that I need to cut a angled hole through. What’s the best way to achieve this? Unless I’m missing something, I can’t seem to find an option that after creating the sketch of a circle to be able to extrude it through the object on an angle. Thanks

@JoeT71  
Welcome to the Forum.

This is just one MO.  
Form your Circle into a Cylinder  
Tap on the cylinder and use the ‘handles’ to orient. It into position  
Then use Tools \> Subtract.

You could create a construction plane, create a sketch of a circle on it, rotate the plane to the angle you need, and negative-extrude the circle into the part.

I used some planes to sketch on my custom curtain rod holder. See what you made me do? Now I have a hole in my curtain rod holder 😡
