Polygonal Modeling: Booleans in Maya 3D 2012

Booleans let you combine polygon meshes to create a new shape. The following briefly describes what each of the Boolean submenus performs:

Union: Combines the volume of the meshes.
Difference: Subtracts the first mesh from the second.
Intersection: Leaves only the shared volume of the meshes.

To use Polygon Booleans go to Mesh > Booleans
