of the cursor is changed. Next, drag Extrude on Boole ; Extrude is connected to Boole , as

The Array tool is used to create duplicates of an object. You can also arrange the duplicates
in a spherical or wave form. The wave can be animated using the Amplitude attribute
of the Array tool. The Boole tool is used to subtract two or more objects to create a hole
in the object. Mostly it is used to perform operations on splines and polygon primitives.
