Not really. If you look closeley, the hole is there. I didn't see it the first time. What you need to do to create a hole is select all, and use the command 'Combine as compound'. The process: - insert a spline object - select the plane in the object that has to 'hold' the object (at the start of the magenta line) - import the Illustrator file (use 'import' from the menu) - select all, 'Combine as compound' - the magenta line on the right, or on the floor, determines the depth of the object - the 'Surface fidility' makes the curves smoother (but it lays some burden on your processor) Returning to the assembly room, the object will be there. This is more or less the route I take turning ai files of logo's to their 3D versions. I will split the starting file with all the elements into seperate object, to give them different depths and materials. Good luck!
