SketchUp Tips and Tricks: Boolean Operations with "Intersect with Model"

You may be familiar with boolean or pathfinder tools in different modeling and graphic design applications. SketchUp doesn't have built in tools that directly do boolean operations, but it is easy to get boolean effects with the "Intersect with Model" functionality and some creative geometry erasing.

Yup, any 'instructional' that gives me the answer in the first few seconds is cool by me!

I keep seeing this bordering box when people are selecting multiple Items, but I have NEVER been able to find it on any version of Sketchup I've used...6 through 8. What am I missing? I don't like holding control and dragging my mouse over a model only to select random portions!
