How to cut in CUBE GRID Modelling Tool

In this video at this timestamp
Chris murphy says “cut a hole in the mesh” while he is using CubeGrid but he didn’t say what is the shortcut key and I really need to use the cut feature, and poly edit isn’t working the way I want it to. So can someone please tell me how to cut faces in CubeGrid Modelling Tool. Thanks !

He just selected the top face of the cube and pushed it down with Q, which resulted in what looks like cutting. Selecting from top corners afterwards and pulling upper grid then closed it again like a roof.

You can look at this tool as modeling with lego pieces, where you either add or remove them to complete shapes, so in a way there is no usual “cutting” tool involved.

I tried using Q to press down but it just starting extruding backwards instead of deleting the particular cube face. That’s why I was asking for a specific shortcut to cut the selected face.

Hi, I use Ctrl + Left Mouse Click to Pull or Push Cube
just select cubes area where you want to make hole
and then Ctrl+LeftMouseButton Draging front or back side will give you extrud cube or delete cube
its work for me and faster
