So then I get a black object. So basically I have to texture the object that I'm
taking away from my original construction. 

It'd make life a lot easier if the object being differenced didn't lose it's 
texture, It'd make floors a lot easier, the floor in my current scene was
going to be fairly straight forward, but now that I've discovered this feature
it makes it a lot more complicated.
