Shell Casing

[Anonymous]

How does one cut out a part from the shell? I've created a shell casing and in order to get rid of inteferences from other bodies protruding out, I need to cut out a hole from the casing to allow it to be accessed from the outside. Any tips?

Would be helpful if you could post some images, but in general try to use combine tool (cut option in dialog window)

That works! Which brings me to ask... What if I want to make some spacing from the opening? As it is of now, it fits exactly.

Pick faces that were created after combine cut, and hit Q on keyboard. This is Push/Pull command, very universal one, in this example it should offset faces. Remember that you need to pick faces first before enabling Push/Pull command, if you will first run command you need to pick faces while holding Ctrl (on Windows).
