I've looked and looked and can't find info on this, but I swear I remember doing it years ago when I was learning Maya . . .

I'm creating a model of an actual building (from photos and blue prints) for a client. I've got the basic structure, and now I'm adding detail like doors and windows. It's an older building, and the window wells and door frames have a unique shape, not just rectangles.

I seem to remember using one object to delete a chunk out of another object. I think that's gonna be the best way to do this, but I can't remember how and I'm looking and not seeing what I'm looking for in the help section.

Can I create an object and use that object to delete big chunks out of another object?
