My Modeling Problem

OK, say you have a cube and you want to make one surface to have a circle extruding out of it how would you do it, at the moment i am adding a circle then using the magnet tool to get it inline but that doesn’t make it the same mesh.
Cheers

One way of doing this could be:

  • Create a cube.
  • Create a circle. As you will join both meshes later on you should take care of the number of vertices in the circle so that you can easily cerate new faces after having joined both objects.
  • Place the circle exactly on one side of the cube (either manually or using the retopo tool
  • Delete the cube face(s) the circle is projected on (placed on)
  • In object mode join both meshes using the CRTL-J
  • Create new faces to connect the circle and the cube.

You are done.

In the image you see a cube, subdivided, and a circle with 8 vertices merged to one object.
