  @christopher_williams787 ,You can not perform boolean operation in assembly.You can derive all parts into one part studio and you can boolean it.

  @Bouwy, Kindly refer below video which will be helpful to you for copy parts from other part studio. You also use tranform operation to re position them.

  Hi, but how could I put the part I derived to exactly location I want? The part only stay at center and I can't move or rotate it?

  If your intention is to boolean them as positioned in assembly then you can also create a new part studio in context, copy part(s) in place using transform and boolean. This will allow you to update from assembly when position as well as geometry changes.
