in this case, it would have been easier and quicker to create a polygon which represented the end of the final shape and then extrude that

Thanks for the answer. I'll keep your ideas in mind.

" You can check this by settings the surfaces to single sided (1S)" I'm not sure what you mean by this, how do you do it?

I understand the normals thing, and I guess to boolean subtract, I have to have the knife surfaces all set to the outside.
