Hi there!

An easy solution may be the shrink wrap modifier (destination mesh is your big one). However it may not look that good.

Another solution, I think, is turning on snapping, vertex type in edit mode and move it onto your big object:

Hope it helps :blush:

Hey, Wersab

You can do this simply by using a knife tool

Ok nvm, it’s working like it’s intended to be.

You mean, removing the circle and cutting the big blob.

I attached the video below

Tell me if it’s that what you meant.

Thanks for your time man, but I don’t have the mesh menu.
I guess it’s another problem.
Thanks Luca.

for mesh to be appearing you need to switch to edit mode by pressing TAB

  1. Point your circle on a mesh
  2. Convert your circle to a curve
  3. LMB on your circle, and, holding SHIFT button, click on a mesh
  4. Press TAB to go to edit mode
  5. Press L
  6. Choose Mesh - Knife Project

Done.

You have to be in Orthographic mode…Usually set by hitting either the Num pad 3 or 1…( Side or Front) if the grid lines are still converging…hit the num pad 5 …then try the Knife-Project.

The knife project has changed a bit…
I do it like this…
1…in object mode select the object to be cut…
2…Enter edit mode ( orthographic view )
3…Hold Ctrl + left click on the cutter ( easier to do this in the outliner)
4…select KMesh > Knife Project and in the pop-up lower left…cut through, checked…or only cut surface…un-checked

NOTE: I turned the view to show the actual cut…the cut happens when you see every thing straight on!

Now then…
I take it you want the ears to be the same shape where they meet the head…
I would suggest a Boolean Join for this…it would be far better than trying to cut and stick together… I use Booltool ( included) UNION
and joined the ears to the cube…you can see it is a very nice merge to the shape …
