Solution
To cut one solid with another:
1. Make the feature database containing the objects editable (the objects must all be in the same
feature database).
2. Using the Select/Navigate tool, select the target object to be cut.
3. While pressing the keyboard CTRL key, select the second object (i.e. the cutting surface).
4. Select Features Edit>Objects>Cut.
5. In the Operation Options dialog, select the output feature database to create the Cut object in.
Ensure that the Delete original features option is disabled if you want to preserve the input objects.
Press OK.
Note that the output feature database will likely have two or more objects (the target object cut into
sub-portions). Select and Delete the unwanted objects.
