I did read the manual.  I think I didn't completely understand exactly how CSG
worked (and clipka cleared that up for me).  Maybe I didn't search thoroughly
enough.  I did find how to cut a sphere in half somewhere in the manual, and I
tried copying that at first.  I didn't realize that the reason the cylinder
looked solid was because of other issues (not cutting the second cylinder out
properly).  Also, the example given in the manual with the hemisphere uses an
intersection, and the eventual solution here used a difference.  Yes, it's
pretty much the same thing, but as I said, I didn't really understand how CSG
worked.  I've actually been using the manual pretty heavily ;)
