Hey model-people: I'm using Amapi 6. I'm trying to model a gray metal shelf, similar to what you would see in a warehouse or file room. The holes are for the bolts that attach the shelfs at different heights. I included a pic to better explain what I'm looking for. I would like to make a hole in a cube (1" on X plane; 1" on Y plane; 1/8" on Z plane. I would then copy/paste/connect each "holed" section together up to the height I need. Is there a way to do this without using booleans, which seem to add mega-size to a file? Thanks for any help you can provide. garblesnix
