The cube just disappears with no hole whenever I hide it after applying booleans. I've merged by distance, applied the scale and nothing seems to work.
I've also flipped and recalculated the normals. Am I applying it to the wrong object?

1$\begingroup$ @Rathalos you attached the wrong blend file, which has already applied the boolean. You have to share the original file with before you applied the boolean. $\endgroup$Megan Love– Megan Love2025-11-28 16:13:42 +00:00Commented yesterday

1$\begingroup$ Are you trying to subtract the cube shape from the circular shape? because if that's your goal, you are doing it wrong, you are putting the Boolean on the cube (second image), when you should put the boolean on the circle. Which of these ones is the one you want ? imgur.com/a/aJz3Wys $\endgroup$Emir– Emir2025-11-28 16:37:56 +00:00Commented yesterday

$\begingroup$ @Emir I wanted to subtract the cube yes. I got the order confused, thank you for letting me know. $\endgroup$Rathalos– Rathalos2025-11-28 16:52:48 +00:00Commented yesterday

For a boolean to work it needs to be applied to the object that needs the action.
Example 1
i need the sphere to get a boolean on the shape of a cube. In this case, the sphere needs the boolean
Example 2
I need this cube to get a boolean on the shape of a sphere. In this case, the Cube needs the boolean.
You can see the boolean operation by switching the visibility of the subtracted object from solid to wire on the object options > viewport display. as seen here
