Setting up Explosives on a floating Structure

 One of the entites created for augmenting the structure was this Boolean object, formed by the subtraction of a sphere from a cube. The cube made them easy to stack into large groups and gave them more predictable physics as well as the large "hole". SketchUp made these a little tricky to create as the boolean subtraction needed to be performed twice (one for the outer shell and the other for the smoothed internal

Porosity is the property of water to pass through an object, being "full of pores that allow fluids or gasses to pass through" (Wiktionary) was my inspiration for this structure. The Booleans are impaled on the structure with the ramp running as a support for explosive barrels. The explosion dislodges the booleans, destroying the structure.
