Boolean Object
The boolean object is a very powerful tool if you want to make some solid geometry. For example, you can subtract one object's area from another. There are currently three different boolean operations available. See the examples below for a clearer idea of how each boolean operation works.

Usage
To use the boolean operations, just drag and drop two polygon objects into a single boolean object (as in the image below). The first child object will be object A and the second one will be object B. Now choose the boolean operation you want to perform from the properties editor. After positioning the child objects with the transform tool you are done.
Properties
- Operation: Choose one of the three available operations. See the images above for an explanation of the different operations.
- Multi-Knife: By default the boolean operation is just performed on the first two child objects of the Boolean creator object. But if you check this property on the Boolean object also works on more than two objects.
