Cut with two or more surfaces. Possible? e.g. A pyramid from a cube

I think you would need to knit the surfaces into a coherent body before you could cut with them all in one go.

The knitting Lee refers to would also require that the surfaces be trimmed beforehand (if any of their edges overlap).

You may want to consider an alternate approach of cutting the "pyramid shaped hole" by inserting a Lofted Feature which cuts between a sketch (for the base of the pyramid and a second sketch which represents the tip with only a single point. (Strangely enough, a point can be used as a profile at the beginning or end of a series of loft sections.)

How about sketching a triangle on a plane or surface and cut-extrude with enough draft to get a point.

The easiers thing you can do is do a mutual trim with the surfaces, I dont see why you would want to knit them together before you have even trimmed them up

insert, surface, trim....

Have you tried this? If you make the pyramid by lofting from a point to a triangle, the three surfaces are all knit together into a single body, and yes, you can cut with it as long as the faces are knit into a single body.

Of course you could do a lofted solid cut as well.
