I've been diving into deep end lately with Blender 4, forcing myself to create a handful of projects as learning opportunities.
It's a pretty heavy program, sooooo many options, and specifically lots of not-so-obvious options that can have you in a bad neighbourhood for a bit, frustrated, if you're uncertain of what to enable/disable.
Spent 45 mins tonight pulling hair out as attempting to perform a 'boolean difference' knockout from an object using another object, applied the modifier properly but one object just 100% disappears without a logical reason?!
Chilled out now as thankfully I found this vid - solved my issue! A seemingly important use for a hidden toggle that unless checked renders the boolean operation useless(?), in this instance anyway.
Also a good idea to dial in the settings to help calm down the mouse sensitivity and orbit view speed... was by default super fast and touchy so made it near impossible to comfortably pan/zoom/orbit to spots on an object without it zig zagging around all mad-like at the slightest mouse interaction.
