Cut Out Solid

Draw | Solid from Curves | Cut Out Solid

This tool imprints a profile through a solid to create a cutout, automatically subtracting material.

The cutout takes the shape of the imprinted profile.

In the example below left, the 2D rectangle has been drawn on the top surface of the solid.

The Cut Out Solid tool is then used to imprint this through the top surface to a depth of 3, shown below.
