I am not sure how to link all the shapes into one cutting object so
the boolean could be done in one step, but here is how to do it one
at a time.
1. Zoom in on the end of the main beam and double click on one of its
faces to select all 6 of them.
2. Hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys then select one of the vertices
(points) on the corner of the selected beam. It will turn yellow.
3. Then with the shift key held down double click on one of the
shapes you want to use to cut the main beam.
4. Use the boolean subtraction option to punch a hole in the beam.
5. Shift select (double click to get the whole shape) and boolean
subtract each shape until you are done (or Carrara stops working).
I don't us the VM very often (I'm an Amapi based lifeform)so I am
willing to bet someone on this list will chime in on an easy way to
link all the cutting shapes into a single unit.
