Click the Add Operation button to display a list of the available operations. Each operation performs a single Boolean step and a number of these steps are used in concert to create the final result.
The
See Exercise Labs for explanations of how to use these operations.
Operation | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Create Solid Above All Surfaces | If multiple surfaces are overlapping, this option will use the upper triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the base for the solid being created. Then projects this surface up to create a closed solid. | ||
Create Solid Above Any Surfaces | Will use the lower triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the base for the solid being created. | ||
Create Solid Below All Surfaces | Will use the lower triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the top for the solid being created. | ||
Create Solid Below Any Surfaces | Will use the upper triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the top for the solid being created. | ||
Note |
| ||
Create Solid From Polygons | Creates a solid from a polygon. These polygons can be digitised in graphics or imported.  | ||
Create Solid Above Plane | Define a plane by typing in an X, Y, Z value. An upper surface is projected above this plane and a closed solid is triangulated. | ||
Create Solid Below Plane | Define a plane by typing in an X, Y, Z value. An upper surface is projected below this plane and a closed solid is triangulated. | ||
Union Solids | Joins solids into the same layer. These solids can be intersecting, but may be free standing. | ||
Intersect Solids | Intersects solids. The result is that part that is common to all imported solids. Multiple solids may be imported here. | ||
Subtract Solids | Outersects solids. The result is that part of the Inclusive solids that has has had the Excluding solids removed from it. | ||
Translate Solid or Surface | Type in an X, Y, Z value to define the translation. Existing triangulated surface is translated to the new location. | ||
Reduce Complexity | This functionality can be used to remove shards left over after another operation (Example: Subtract solids). Input the solid with multiple solids, give a minimum acceptable volume, all the minor solids with a volume below that minimum value will be removed. | ||
Upper Surface | An open surface is created of the upper part of the input solid(s). | ||
Lower Surface | An open surface is created of the lower part of the input solid(s). | ||
Clip Surface by Polygon (Exclude Outside) | Intersect a surface with a polygon(s). This can be digitised in graphics or imported.  | ||
Clip Surface by Polygon (Exclude Inside) | Outersect a surface with a polygon(s). This can be digitised in graphics or imported. | ||
Append Surfaces | Append Surfaces to one another. |
