Holes in curved surfaces

[Mixaris3]

I've encountered a few problems on Solid Edge st4.
I can't make protrusion cutouts or holes in curved surfaces. Example: I create a cylinder and I want to make holes in it. But not on planar tops rather in curved surface that generates it. This is a simple example, but if I want create a revolved object with a curved generator, like a bottle or something, and want to create holes in it.

How can I create more complex extruded objects with a 3D path or axis and with different profiles within? I think that's something that combines swept and lofted protrusions.

There's probably someone here who can help, but you will have a better chance if you post your question in the forum dedicated to Solid Edge: forum562

This is the NX forum , I guess you will get better replies in the SE forum...
I can't help you with this question unless you do in NX.

A general reply to what i guess is going on is that when extruding 3D curved profiles , the cad system do not/ cannot automatically "understand" the shape inside the 3d profile. ( i.e the starting face) In NX the result will therefore be a extruded sheet body and not a solid body.
