# Using boolean operations

In GEOM for construction of more complex geometrical objects (2D & 3D elements) you can use the following boolean operations:

- Fuse

- Common

- Cut

- Section

TUI command:

geompy.MakeBoolean(Shape1, Shape2, Operation), where Shape1 is the first argument and Shape2 is the second argument of Boolean operation, Operation is a type of the Boolean operation (1 – Common, 2 – Cut, 3 – Fuse, 4 – Section).

To use boolean operations:

In the main menu select Operations > Boolean.
