Hi,

Is it possible to use corona pattern on a surface that have holes. Corona pattern works ok on solid surface but when I make a hole on it it doesn't work anymore.

Is it even possible to make it work on surface that have holes?

You mean the object receiving the pattern (not the one being repeated)? Should work fine so long as the UVW Mapping is fine. Can you post an image of what you mean, showing in what way it doesn't work?

I am using corona pattern on a part of building facade. But I need holes on that facade part. When I punch holes on the surface corona pattern does not work and the whole part disappears. When I disable corona pattern modifier the surface is visible again.

Sorry, I'd still need images to see just what you mean, both the resulting render and the scene set up. As a note there is an option in the Corona Pattern to have the original surface made invisible (default) or to have it remain visible, since you mention the surface being "visible again".
