there's no such thing as a Combine or Boolean in Form mode.  Form (T-Spline) bodies are not solid objects - think of them more like surface bodies.  You can delete those faces, as you have done, then use Add Face to put in replacement faces.  This will work in that simple case, but be very difficult in more complex cases.

 

You can convert both bodies to solids, and subtract them in Model/solids mode, of course.

Hi Jeff

I try as  you said.

They show error when I finish.

What I should do next?

Are there any tool to check object solid or T-spline Surface?

Hi,

here's one way, but whether it's what you want to achieve, I don´t know?

Rectilinear forms with sharp edges are better created with other tools.

If you have a specific design in mind then it might help if you can post an image of something similar to what you want to create.

 

Also, I believe I mentioned that in another thread you started, it would serve you well to go through the tutorial courses in the Learn & Support section.

@travis.designer.vn please answer the questions we've asked. What is it you want to design?

The Form environment is simply not suitable for cube-like shapes. It makes no sense!

Hi Peter

I completed some courses in Udemy and LinkedIn. Now I just try to practice and create something by myself. Because I learn by myself then I go to forum when I confront trouble.

Thank for your attention.
