Question on part negative

So I was designing a pretty intricate pair of softjaws today, It required trimming a lot of solids to solids in some places I had to create curves on edges/project and then trim. It took much longer than I imagined it would. I was thinking am I missing something. I tried trimming solids to solids, solids to surfaces that I created of solids and it just wouldn't do it. Anybody got any tips or tricks?

Hum apparently Boolean gets it done on a simple part I just sketched up at home. But it appears the evil lays with in sheet solids created off of an imported IGES file. So I guess that brings up a better more relevant question, is their a way to create a solid body from a part built in sheet solids?

Model prep, make sure you save before you start making changes, because you can't undo. When I get to the point where I am happy with my model, I will remove solid operations so the part is one solid body. If I have to make changes after I will push/pull it.
