…Complex shapes are often made up of a combination of simple shapes.…By nesting together Boolean unions,…subtractions, and intersections, we can create…complex forms that would otherwise be very difficult to build from scratch.…Like what we see in the viewport right here.…Now this is sort of an abstract object, but as you look at the interior, you…can see how something like this could be…used for an architectural interior, like a vaulted ceiling.…Now, how would we go about creating a form like this?…Let's take a look at the Boolean object that we seen in our scene.…If I click on the plus sign next to…this Boolean object, we'll see all of the constituent parts.…
A nice shortcut to know when you're dealing…with deeply nested hierarchy is that if you…hold down the control key as you click…on this icon, it'll unfurl all of your objects.…And this is a little bit confusing to see as we…go along but let's take it one step at a time.…My first object looks very complex as we look at the name.…If I turn off the check mark next to it we'll see…
