Tool Test: Boolean

After being shown the boolean tool in the lectures i thought i would give it ago to see how it works.

I created two objects so as to be able to subtract one from the other.

I then accessed the boolean tool under  "Compound Objects" in the drop down menu.

As i accessed this tool with the sphere selected the sphere is set as object A and as i wish to subtract the sphere from the box i needed to change from "Subtraction (A-B)" to "Subtraction (B-A)"

I then used the "Pick Operand B" button to allow me to select the box for object B thus subtracting the sphere from the box as below. 

This tool seems like it will be very useful when making all of my models as there will be awkward shapes to achieve and perhaps awkward hole to make.
