Use the Boolean Explorer to keep track of operands when assembling complex compound objects. From the Boolean Parameters rollout, click Open Boolean Explorer.
Boolean Explorer with Example Operands
Operands automatically appear in the Boolean Explorer whenever you add an operand in the Boolean Parameters rollout. You can also drag objects from the scene explorer to the Boolean Explorer to add them as new operands. All changes to the order of operands and their operations in the Boolean Parameters rollout are automatically updated in the Boolean Explorer.
