I'm going to use the quick slice tool to chop some new edges and create some new polygons in this object and that will prevent some of the issues that can crop up with a Boolean. The object is an editable poly already, so I'll select it and let's just investigate its structure. In the editable poly modify panel we have the various sub object modes. Vertex as point, edge is line, border is a series of open edges that are not bounded on both sides by polygons. And polygon is a flat surface, or should be a flat surface anyway, but in Max polygons are actually kind of allowed to be not flat, or coplanar. And that's kind of bad but it comes in handy in some cases especially when subdivision surface modeling, as we'll see later. The polygons in this object…
