	Carving is used to "permanently" cut one brush with another brush. This is basically how the engine works any way but carving allows you to create a single complex brush that would normally take many brushes to create. Sometimes, this makes managing brushes easier. You can only carve with 2 brushes at a time. If you try to carve with move than 2 brushes at once, faces will disappear. You can only carve a solid brush but it can be carved with either an air or solid brush. The brush that is earliest in time (out of the two) will be the bit that ~~carves out of~~ the second brush, which must be the later in time of the two. The time index of brushes is displayed in the [[RED_Functionality_Overview#Status Window/Console\|Status Window]]. Once you carve a brush, you cannot "un-carve" it so it's a good idea to make a backup of the brushes before you carve them. Brushes can only be "uncarved" with Undo but if the undo buffer gets refreshed and the carve operation you just performed is gone, you are out of luck. The easiest way to make a backup of the brushes is to create a group and save the group out.		Carving is used to "permanently" cut one brush with another brush.

	To use the Carve function, check the time indexes of the two brushes you want to use for carving. If you need to change their times, use the [[RED_Functionality_Overview#Brush Mode\|Start of Time]] and [[RED_Functionality_Overview#Brush Mode\|End of Time]] buttons to move them in time.
