I was working on my spaceship with curved surfaces and had a lot of problems with the curved surface. I ended up creating a cylinder and doing a Boolean subtract, it made a much cleaner hole. It also aided in precise alignment of the cylinder to the plane of the surface. This is going to be my favorite technique for making windows from now on, stencilling seems to be a pretty messy way of creating windows.
