Hi all!

I have drawn the circular shape, where i’d like to cut out the tree shape from it by extruding through it etc.

I have converted the tree from an SVG and then have made a DXF from that…

But I am stumped! How can I cut it out?

Have you tried move the tree into the circle and subtracting it from the circle? There will be disconnected bodies left over from the leaf veins, tree roots etc. if you cut all the way thru.

Thank you - amazing replies! I can’t seem to do those functions as it is a mesh body.  
How do I process them into not mesh!?

Use software such as the free version of Fusion 360 to convert the mesh to a BRep, export as STEP, and import into Shapr.
