For detail description of the Boolean operations please refer to this document. It provides a general review of the Partition and Boolean operations algorithms, describes the usage methodology and highlighs major limitations of these operations.
You can use the following boolean operations for construction of more complex geometrical objects (2D & 3D elements):
-
Fuse - creates a shape from two shapes.
-
Common - transforms the common part of two objects into an independent object.
-
Cut - cuts one shape with another.
-
Section - creates a section between two shapes.
There is a general TUI command covering all these operations, which can be used alongside with separate commands for each operation.
- geompy.MakeBoolean(Shape1, Shape2, Operation), where Shape1 is the first argument and Shape2 is the second argument of Boolean operation, Operation is a type of the Boolean operation (1 — Common, 2 — Cut, 3 — Fuse, 4 — Section).
Besides, you can use advanced TUI commands performing these operations independently from each other:
- geompy.MakeFuse(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Fuse operation;
- geompy.MakeCommon(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Common operation;
- geompy.MakeCut(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Cut operation;
- geompy.MakeSection(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Section operation;
Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of the use of Boolean Operations.
