To use Boolean operations, which action should you perform first?

• A. Pick the Geometry button on the Create tab of the Command panel and then select compound objects
• B. Open the Material Editor
• C. Switch to the Modify panel
• D. Press Ctrl+Z

Answer: (A)

Boolean operations are performed by creating a compound object. The first step is to switch to the Geometry category in the Create panel and select Compound Objects. From there you choose the Boolean type and then pick the two objects to combine, choosing the operation (Union, Subtract, or Intersection). The other actions shown don’t set up a Boolean because they don’t establish the compound-object context needed to perform the operation.
