Yup, that's correct too.

Also if you plan to boolean the resulting objects on to the target, it's probably best to make them intersect it a bit (like pushing down through it somewhat) rather than making them just skim right along the same surface area. That kind of barely skimming situation tends to be harder for the booleans to deal with.

If the booleans seem to get confused also try doing the boolean between 2 pieces at a time rather than as a whole group. Sometimes that can help - at some point I want to track that down and figure out why that helps in some kinds of situations.
