How to perform boolean operation

[Odforu]

Hi,

I have two parts(3D) a cube and a cylinder. The cylinder is inside the cube. Some part of the cylinder comes out of the cube. I want to get rid of the part of cylinder coming out of the cube. The two parts represents composite and should be merged together. If I merge and then take off the part of cylinder coming out of the cube and then suppress the feature and then again resume it in assembly I get the original assembly with the cylinder still coming out of the cube. How do I get rid of the part of cylinder coming out of cube forever?

Thank you.

Merge the bodies together retaining boundaries. Section the cylinder with the face it is extending from. Now hide the new body and don't mesh it. I hope this helps.

@rstupplebeen than you very much for the comment. I would like to know how do I section the cylinder, are you referring to partition? Is there any particular method to do so?

Thank you.
