Set one is an array of these sort of hexagonal prism shapes. And these are all solid. And set two is sort of a free form box-like surface that's also solid. So let's go up to our solid menu. And let's take a look at the Boolean difference command. This command will basically use one set of solid objects to carve out from another set of solid objects.
