    I want to create a grid then place an irregular object in the grid and use the object profile to create a hole in the grid, but they keep disappearing 

    Workflow

    1. Created grid using path effect 'Grid' function
    2. Object to path on the created grid
    3. Created irregular object
    4. irregular object - object to path
    5. moved irregular object over grid
    6. Selected both both grid and object
    7. Used path effect 'intersection'
    8. Everything disappears!

    Most if not all Boolean operations in 2d (+3d) expect shapes not lines. Proof: Select grid, go Path->Stroke to Path - add-select "irregular" object and go Path->Intersection - voilá.

    Or if you don´t mind "invisible objects" select Grid+Object and go Object->Clip->Set.
