Default Cross Drilled Rotor

Working on crossed drilled rotor for added detail to rims. Using boolean to drill holes through rotor. On first attempt I had all the holes set up and when I went to Boolean them onto the rotor, my PC came to a grinding halt. For my second attempt I tried to drill the holes one row at a time, but when I tried the second row, PC LOCK UP!!! (very bad). Maybe I am going about this the hard way. Is there an easier way, or should I just UV map an image to the rotor? (Just thought of that as I was submitting this post) :o :o

Thanks

Make sure you are not in subpatch mode. Tab back the objects into a poly first.
