Need Negative Object Creation

I'm new to the game and since I've been on I've done a ton of building.
The options that are available are pretty nice but I think that there needs to be the option to create negative objects. This would greatly increase the number of objects that could be created as well as make a lot of things easier to be created. Maybe call it antimatter? To illustrate the idea: Make a normal cube into a wall for a house. Then place a similar but much smaller cube into a spot where you would like a window. Make the small cube negative and a there you go. A window! Maybe I just haven't found the option in game but if it isn't there, I think it would completely revamp the object creation system. Any thoughts? I've never posted in here. Do you people /sign like a petition if you like an idea?

This would be called "boolean modeling." Which we've been asking for for, what, 3 versions now? 5?

What you're asking for is called "Constructive Solid Geometry", or CSG. It's a wonderful system, but it's so complex and convoluted to actually implement that I would be very surprised if LL even has a 3D programmer of sufficient skill to do it. Even then, a lot of professional CSG packages tend to "blow up" on certain inputs, leaving a mess of mangled polys everywhere.

I'd say that this is a case of something you're not likely to see in SL. Try using the "Hollow" property in the object creation, it helps.

I know I've used such a feature in SolidEdge. Which of course is a high end program...
Didn't realize it was that hard to implement. Oh well. Figures, my first post I'd ask for the impossible.
