We've used the Boolean modifier a couple of times in earlier parts of this book. Dynamically cutting holes for our chair earlier in this project was neat, but it involved many tedious steps, such as choosing the right Boolean operation, deactivating the Boolean object's rendering in the outliner, and setting the bounding box's draw mode. The Bool Tool add-on reduces those steps to a much faster workflow. Bool Tool has two methods—Auto Boolean and Brush Boolean. Using Auto Boolean will instantly apply the Boolean operation and discard the Boolean object. Using Brush Boolean will set up the necessary modifiers and change the display of the Boolean object.
To start, let's use Bool Tool to carve a hole ...
