All right let's put the hole at the bottom of the model. And what I want to do is get an insert mesh brush. So I want to hit B, and then I want to hit I for all the brushes that start with I, and I want to get the insert cylinder. Now, this is going to let us draw a cylinder right onto the existing model.
