Hello all,
I am trying to create 3D representation of a femur with a fracture, with a rod going through the center with pins attaching to it from the outer layer of the bone. I don't know how to remove the areas of the bone so that pins aren't merging with the bone as I insert them so that they come into contact with the rod. I also wish to be able to apply different material properties to all 3. I would really appreciate help in this regard. Thank you.

Hi its simple
you just need to do Boolean operation on the geometries . First draw all the geometries independently then use 'Boolean operation (You will get the 'Boolean operation' when you make right click on geometry ) .....'subtraction ' to cut out and 'addition' to unite 2 or more geometries.
Finally you will be able to apply different material properties to each regions by selecting.
