Hello everyone!  
I’m new here and also to Shapr 3D! I have a question: I want to insert a hollow ring into solid material, how do I do that?  
I’ve tried a lot but haven’t found the right way yet  
Thanks for the help in advance and best regards!

Hi,

Easiest is probably to create the ring shape, move it into the solid body, then subtract the ring from the body.
