Help with Blender!

I just want to know how to cut something using an object, for example placing a sphere inside a cube then cuttting it so that the sphere removes the part of the square. Does anyone know how to do this or what it is called? I am using Blender.
Many Thanks
Oli

    This should've been posted in Technical Talk.

    I believe you are trying to do what's called a Boolean operation. Sorry I'm not sure how to do that in Blender. Though after opening up Blender 2.53 beta I see Boolean under the Modifiers tab...

    Generally speaking it's not a great way to model stuff as in most apps it creates some "messy" geometry which needs to be cleaned up.

    You should learn how to model using the sphere as a guide along with the snapping and modeling tools to create the geometry you want. Again sorry I'm not a Blender expert so I can't help you there.

    Good luck.
