Hi, I have this cylinder (purple) that I want to cut into this smooth curved sheet.
I have thought about booleans but I don’t understand why the stack closes and how to smooth the new sharp edges created when i do it.
How would you go about it?
The aim is to create a cylindrical opening in the sheet while maintaing the smoothing, while getting the edges themselves smoothed.
My stack is EditPoly, TurboSmooth, Bend, Box.

Ye sorry bout that. I have increased the iterations and used a normal boolean. It seems to work well, but i’m left with this

So now select the edge around the hole and chamfer it (sides = 4 (or more to taste))...after once again colapsing the stack, if need be.

If you choose to start over, or for future reference - here is another method. It is not “perfect” but it looks good.

It’s hard to tell from the video, but this is what the end result looks like using this method…
