Hi Mr. Yuri, the problem there is your main object is not a closed solid volume, if you select it you can see the object type indicator says it's a "Joined srf". It would read "Solid" there if it was a closed solid:



For booleans to do their normal operation the objects involved must be closed solids so that pieces to discard can be identified by which volume they are contained within.

If you do a boolean on an object that is not a closed solid volume it will behave more like a surface trimming operation.

To find out what areas of your object are not closed and preventing it from being a solid, set up the script described here:
