Trying to make a stencil. Adding the “bridges” to connect the floating pieces.
The Subtract Boolean is only working some-times. I made sure to select one object and then the other. I made sure both objects are closed shapes. I made sure all the shapes are turn into paths. I’m sure its some minor detail I’m over looking but I cannot figure it out.

      Here are the problems I see in the setup:
1. the inner loop is open. You can see this in Edit->select open shapes
2. you can only do boolean operations on 2 shapes at a time. Grouped shapes will act as a single shape. So 2 sets of grouped shapes also works. In your file isn’t set up that way.
