Knife project method to cut shape into mesh

Hi forum.

I’m practising some modelling methods, although I know knife project method is not the best because it makes a mess out of the mesh, I couldn’t figure out another approach to achieve this particular shape modelled in the middle of the main mesh. I’d like some feedback what other way could I had approached to get that shape made within the main mesh.

Thank you.

I tried opposite approach. I quickly modeled the cut shape and then built the cube around it. Thats one way I would say

Hi Fowl. thanks for your demo, it worked out well starting from within the mesh.

You are welcome. It was just a try. I guess there will be many way a different modelers would approach o this. It usually depends on what you expect from result, topology and so on. Displacement came to my mind as well. Have a good day.
