OK ... so what's new (I'm confused) are you trying to do this:

difference
{
    box{<-2,1,-2>, < 2,4, 2> }
    box{< 0,0,-3>, < 3,2, 3> }
    box{< 0,3,-3>, < 3,5, 3> }
    texture {Gold_Texture}
}

or this:

difference
{
    box{<-2,1,-2>, < 2,4, 2> }
    box{< 0,0,-3>, < 3,3, 3> }
    box{< 0,2,-3>, < 3,5, 3> }
    texture {Gold_Texture}
}

because if it's the 2nd one why not just do this:

box{<-2,1,-2>, < 0,4, 2> }

.. I mean yer just choppin' off the pos x portion of the main box!
