Hi,

I tried to read and understand relations, and concluded that their main purpose probably is to keep newbies out of here :) 

Could some kind person explain to simple minded me what should I actually do if I have one outer ring and one or more inner rings and I want to make a polygon with correct number of holes out of them with relations? How on earth can I select the rings which belong together and tell which is outer and which are inner ones? Or is there already a how-to somewhere in wiki?
