merging shapes

i know there is a simple answer and mrsteves given me some great tutes on my urban scenes but i've got one more question and then i think i'll be good:

i just want to merge shapes. polygons like a cube and a sphere, or even just flat shapes like polyline shapes and elipses, into one large combined shape.

i guess what i'm wanting to know is, is there a way to position a couple or few shapes together the way i want and then combine them together with the extraneous bits that are no longer revealed or needed deleted.

i know there's merge and snap vertices and optimize but i'm talking about random shapes where the vertices aren't perfectly matched to each shape.

thanks for any help.
