Little test:

I suggest you first tuft flat surface , then bend it with shape bender or Fredo scale; could work.

@ cornel
As I can remember Moses received Ten Commandments from "God", is there anything else to know, who wrote the bible ?

ps: Tell us more about you, we don't even know where you come from.

@cornel

the holy bible seems to be your stick, can't you stand up by yourself?

Gilles method is a good one too. Didn't work for me right now saying the group created by "convert lines to tubes" plugin is not a solid, whyever.

It does for me, be sure to check in input box "create a group"=no, "each tube is a group"=yes

#1- make your shape a group before drawing lines to bevel
#2- draw the lines a little longer than the edges of the shape (according to the radius)
#3-Tool/convert lines to tube:"create a group"=no, "each tube is a group"=yes "precision"= 4
#4-Solid tools "outer shell" with all the tubes, gives one solid
#5-Solid tools "subtract" N°1 tubes, N°2 shape
#6- its done

PS: this plugins always wants to apply home material?

I like this one.

You could do three components:

window + vent.

There is also the very new Hole on solid

Another solution: set circle to 12 segments, it will work fine with R= 4,5mm and it decrease the amount of edges.

Try this:
