Extract operand from boolean

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

the new functionality of Boolean in 3dsMax 2017 seems nice, but I miss the old functionality with being able to extract operands from the boolean (I can only remove them, so they are gone). I also miss the function to add operands as "Instance" instead of "Move". 

Has the feature been removed from the program?

It was very handy to use the same object for subtraction on multiple objects.

Is this function still present, or is there a workaround for it?

Thank you!

Could the selected operand be extracted with its material?

No.

P.S. I frankly don't understand how Booleans could be published without ability to edit an operand WHILE seeing the end result.

Well, you can edit the operand - select it in the list and pick it in the modifier stack, now you can edit it any way you want. If you only want to move/rotate/scale it, doubleclick the operand in the operand list. If you just created the boolean, unhide the original object and edit that, it's an instance.
