The part shown below consists of three individual solid objects.
Required Step 1 
Pick one or more open or closed objects (including individual faces) to be cut.
In this case, pick the light blue and dark blue objects. Note that these objects are rectangular and elliptical prisms, despite the presence of the magenta object. Press exitexit when all objects are selected.
Required Step 2
Set the Cut parameters as required, and pickpick the cutting entity, in this case the magenta solid. Press exitexit.
Note: If more than one object is selected for cutting, you can only pick one object as the cutting tool. However, any number of objects created from the same sketch are considered as one object. Also, merged objects and those created using Solid > Add functions are also considered one object.
