create holes on an oval face

[Tarkus]

I apologize for the non-relevant intervention, only to point out that I have proposed the subject in the moderator area, because the observation seems to me right and fit and the other moderators agree on what you have highlighted.

@soliduser, would you be able to report me a forum that has this functionality, so as to show it to the administrator and other moderators?
Thank you.

Hey, guys.

without removing anything from the solution provided by stefanobruno, I allow myself to suggest a decidedly leaner solution, using the correct command precisely for these needs, that is "hole on point".

eye, here we talk about hole on an elliptical surface.
Look what happens to your hole (the right one) if the ellipse is narrower and if you use a passing axis for the center.

the right procedure, I think it is to make a tangent plan to the surface and passing through a point, then to do the sketch of the hole on that plane (hole to the left):smile:

Hello tarkus,

I do not think that creating a tangent plan and therefore a sketch is the wrong method, but surely the hole on point and direction is faster.
to avoid any error, simply create an offset surface through thickening and on this find the insertion point (see attachment).

No, you don't understand. What I say is that with hole on tangent surface you have a hole with axle perpendicular to the face where you go to drill, with hole on point as you do, you have an oblique hole.
If then, to find the perpendicular direction you have to make a thickening and all the text, good night at speed. :mixed:
