I’m using free form as a part of my project at the moment and I need to have holes in my free form. But when I hit finish freeform and try to add holes I can’t. Any way to solve this?

Hi! This can be done in several ways. You can create 2D sketch and use Extrude/Revolve/Sweep to cut. Or, you create some construction geometry like UCS, work features. Then you can use Hole command and select the workpoint and workaxis to create the hole.

Many thanks!
