Booleans

Imprinting for the computer!! This tool allows you to either cut a shape out of an object or to imprint it into the object.
Here I just created a box from the preset shapes and wrote a letter using the Spline Text tool. The letter was modified in order to make it deeper than the box. Initially the letter was simply laid on top, when it was positioned I selected the Create tab and within that Compound object then Boolean. You are then given the choice to choose anither operand, as I had the box selected I chose the letter and IT'S GONE!!! Left in its' place is the imprint, depending upon the initial positioning of the letter this either leaves a hole through the box or an indent.
