Boolean operations work only with surface and [[Solid Objects|solid objects]]. In other words, they cannot apply be applied to [[Curve Objects|curve objects]]. As a general rule of thumb, you can union any should perform a Boolean operation on two or more objects of the same type, and resulting object will be of the same type. In other words, you can union two or more solids to obtain another Mixing solid. You can union two or more [[Surface Objects|surface objects]] (planar or nonplanar) to obtain another and [[Surface Objects|surface objects]]in Boolean operations may result in an undesirable outcome. You can also union The Boolean Union of two [[Curve Objects|curve objects]] under certain circumstances, although a better way to do this is to use the '''Merge Curve Tool''' Unioning two object that do not overlap each other physically is similar to grouping them into a composite object. You can subtract solids from a solid or subtract surfaces from a surface object. Similarly, your intersect solids with other or intersect surfaces with Subtracting two objects that do not overlap each otherphysically results in the deletion of the object to be subtracted.

{{Note|Mixing solid The result of a Boolean CAD objects and surface CAD objects in Boolean operations may result in an undesirable outcome.}} When operation on two or more objects undergo a Boolean operation, is a new Boolean object is created by default. The new of Boolean object provides access to the properties of the individual constituent objects for further editing. This is a convenient feature that can effectively be used in many applicationsType. The property dialog of a Boolean objects shows the overall dimensions of the object in grayed out boxes that cannot be edited. The property dialog also has a list of all the constituent objects. These behave is similar to the parent objects of linked objects. To edit the properties that of a constituent, select its name in the '''Object List''', which highlights the actual composite object in the Project Workspace in the current selection colorand contains a member list. Then, click the '''Edit''' button of the dialog to open up the property dialog of the selected constituent object. At this time, [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBE]] activates the object edit modes with red edit handles appearing on the surface of the selected constituent object. Edit the object either with the mouse using the edit handles or through the property dialog using the spin buttons You can highlight and typing in new values for select any member from the object [[parameters]]. After the editing is finished, save the changes in the second property dialog list and do the same for the first open its own property dialog belonging to the Boolean object. [[File:bool1_tn.png|500px]] A Boolean object resulting from union of two cylinder. The cylinder on the right is selected for further editing. [[File:bool2_tn.png|500px]] Through the property dialog of the selected cylinder, its height and radius are changed. [[File:bool3_tn.png]] The Boolean object after editing one of its constituents. Sometimes, you may prefer You can also use '''Consolidate Tool''' to get convert a simple solid or surface Boolean object after into a Boolean operation. [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBE]] offers the option to create generic solids surface or surfaces at the end of a Boolean operationsolid object. To enable this optionIn that case, open the you won'''Preferences Dialog''' from '''Edit Menu''' or using t have access to the keyboard shortcut '''Ctrl+H'''. In the '''Objects''' tab properties of this dialog remove the check mark from the box labeled "Create Boolean Objects after Boolean Operations"individual member object any longer.
