Edit 3D CAD’s hole specifications with meviy
3D CAD ready, 2D drawing ready, request for quotation sent. Only to realize: you need to adjust only a hole tolerance. Now the quotation process can start all over again. Does it sound familiar?
Using traditional procurement process, one must request a quote every time even a small detail, like the tolerance of a hole, changes. This implies many more hours of work to finalize the new 2D and 3D drawings, to request again the quotation and get the parts.
With meviy, none of this applies. After uploading solely your 3D design, you can edit the 3D CAD’s hole specifications directly on the screen, check the price and delivery date instantly, without any new drawings to be recreated on your side. You can also change the specification (e.g. tolerance) as many times as you want, always obtaining the price and delivery time in real time. All of this without the need to draw the 2D design.
This benefit of meviy is already a gamechanger for designers across the globe. To allow you to make the best out of this functionality, you can find below few tips and best practise.
How to edit 3D CAD's hole specifications on meviy
Having said this, let’s get into practice and see how to easily edit holes’ tolerance with meviy.
After uploading the 3D CAD model, double-click directly on the hole you want to specify a precision hole for. You can also double-click on the target hole information from the tree view on the left. The hole information instructions screen is shown.
After selecting the hole of your choice, the hole information indication screen opens, Here you can finalize your preferred configuration.
① Set the hole diameter tolerance type and select [tolerance field] or define bilateral & unilateral] in millimeters
② Select effective depth if applicable (depth, for which the tolerance is valid)
③ Surface roughness is only available in meviy when the hole precision is specified. It cannot be specified for external surfaces or other surfaces.

We want to make sure you always keep the most important details in check. Therefore, once the tolerance of the hole is defined, it will also get automatically displayed in a model-view next to a diameter, allowing you to always double checking your set tolerances.
Tolerancing of the holes is often very much dependent on the function of the final part. Below you can see a few design examples of how different tolerancing would be used for suspension blocks, antivibration-fixtures or positioning plate.
