how do i cut hole through a filled surface?
(OP)
I have an imported solid that came in almost perfect except for one surface missing. I made a filled surface there, but there is supposed to be a hole in it(when I filled it I disregarded the hole). I've tried the help screens, but get nowhere.

Any other ideas?

I would extrude a circular surface for the hole and then trim it to fit the other surfaces.

RE: how do i cut hole through a filled surface?
1) Sketch the profile of your cut and extrude a surface using that sketch through all. Trim the filled surface using the extruded surface as the trim tool.
2) Sketch the profile of your cut and use it to create a split line in the filled surface. Now your filled surface has been split into two separate surfaces. Delete the unwanted surface (the hole) using delete face. Make sure you choose "delete" and not "delete and patch".
