the volume that both shapes have in common.
In this mode, you may interactively intersect two shapes by selecting
the first one, then clicking the intersect
button, selecting the second shape and pressing the RETURN
key. It is also possible to intersect multiple shapes. Therefore, it is
necessary to push the CTRL

its entry in the navigation tree.
Press
RETURN.
Note
To intersect more than one shape from another,
hold the CTRL
key during the selection of the other shapes. To select all navigation tree
entries from one position to an other, push the SHIFT
key during selection.
Cancel
You may cancel this mode at any step using ESC.
