5. Incorporating the cutout

As we chose to have the switch at the bottom of the design, we need to rotate the Cutout 90 degrees using the rotate arrows.

We then move the Cutout, so that it is completely inside the fox.









We need to check the bottom and side views to confirm that the Cutout is in the right position, and that it is not sticking out of any of the shape walls.

We also need to leave enough space for an adequate amount of printing material between the Cutout and the outside of the shape (at least 3mm). We will slightly enlarge the fox, just to be on the safe side.


We do this while holding the Shift key, in order to keep the proportions of the model. We check once again from different angles and we are ready to group the fox model with the Cutout!

We then make the fox shape a visible solid again by unchecking the Transparent box. Triple check from all angles that the Cutout is placed correctly!

In order to select both shapes, we click and drag the cursor over the fox shape and the Cutout within it or hit Ctrl+A. Click on the Group icon in the upper right corner to remove the cutout shape from the main shape.

There should now be a hole in the design in the shape of the Cutout.
