working with converted STL files , im having trouble adding holes in the locationns and inclinations I want. any tips?

I've converted an STL file of a boot last into Solid works and I need to add mounting holes to the resulting solid but have not been able to get them to come in perpendicular to the model, only normal to the surface of the solid. yes I'm a NooB  any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers Don
