Cant find my object in boolean mod?

Hi guy i have an object that that I’m trying to make a hole in. I’ve named it hilt since its a sword but i don’t see it in the object pulldown of the boolean mod .i have added a subdivision surface to it if that helps. Ive tried renaming it also lol.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers

You should probably post this in modelling, if you have a blend file I’ll have a quick look for you.

Are you perhaps trying to subtract the object from itself?

Figured it out i am sorry for posting wrong place. sourvinos…bingo lol. Umii thanks for replying that is some wild work you have there!

Figured it out
I’d hate to be someone who had the same problem and while searching the forum for an answer found this thread.

Brilliant, there’s a solution
Bummer !! there’s a solution but the OP decided to not say what it is

Right Richard, I was trying to subtract the object from itself as sourvinos had said. I used the boolean modifier twice and it worked first time but the second time i was tired staring at the screen into the wee hours. when using boolean choose the object your using to make the hole. Thank you!
