- In this video we're going to explore ProBooleans…and we'll also get some practice with…the Editable Poly Object.…Open the Apartment 11 exercise file,…go to the Display tab and click Unhide by Name.…Expand the Apartment Plan drawing…and select Layer Counter, Unhide.…This brings in a couple of lines,…and this one here is going to represent…the kitchen counter.…So let's zoom in there,…arc rotate around it so you can see the whole thing,…like that.…
Go to Create tab, create a box…and let's turn on, we need to see…the main toolbar here,…so that I can turn on Snap.…Let's make sure that we have Vertex Snap mode.…I'm gonna drag from this corner to the other corner,…drag up and click.…Let's set the Height now at 32 inches.…Let's give this object three Segments…in height.…Let's give it a different Color…and rename it Counter.…
Right click twice to open the Quad menus…and choose Isolate Selection…so that we can focus on the kitchen counter.…Go to the Modify panel…and right click in the stack…and choose Convert to Editable Poly.…
