(

PegSlice
. Select (

PegBody
and in the
Properties
panel,
Modiiers
tab, add a

modifier to the
PegBody

PegSlice
from the menu.
The mirror modifier is still active, its effect hasn't been made permanent with the
Apply
button yet, so why is the split only appearing in one side of the peg? The
reason is because the order of the modifiers matter. Here, the main shape is being
mirrored first, and then Boolean is applied. Actually it should be the other way
around. It is very easy to change the order of modify operations.
