These are modification tools that allow you to merge together the solids of walls, floors, roofs and create interesting conditions where the geometry connects to one another. So, you can either cut one piece of geometry all the way through the other, or you can merge them together in more of a union sort of situation. I've got some really simple objects here onscreen. Let's take a look at a few scenarios. So, I'm going to start over here, with these two overlapping walls. Now, if I click either one of these walls and look at Show Warnings, the two walls are overlapping, which, generally, we try and avoid, and it's telling us that we can use Cut Geometry to embed one in the other, so that's the first thing I'll show you is the Cut Geometry. So, if we go to the Modify tab, we've got the Cut tool right here, and it matters what order you pick these in. So, if I pick the…
