hello, i am trying to cut my planks of wood to the shape inside in red , its hard to see the shape but it is there , how can i do that? also the piece that sticks out of the bottom, i'm guessing it would be the same way , i hope i'm explaining myself properly, thank you
Combine the planks which are hopefully color filled shapes - make sure your trim path is closed and above the plank object - then select both and go Path->Intersection.
Edit: Intersection is the tool I´d have recommended in first place.
so i realized that i had drawn a box around the planks which had also been grouped , so when i ungrouped them and differenced them the opposite of what i want to happen, happens, can i reverse it?

i tried that and nothing happened, when i combined the three planks they turned black and white with no infill just lines
