Boolean

Joins, cuts or crosses the children, with the first one as the base.

Boolean combines the children into a single solid. The first child in the list is the base, and each of the others goes into it where it is: it disappears from the drawing and leaves only its effect. Moving, rotating or changing a child rebuilds the result.

It works best with closed objects, such as cubes, cylinders and spheres, or with what comes out of an Extrude.

Operation
  • Operation: Subtract removes the volume of the other children from the base, like a hole in a wall. Union joins everything into one piece. Intersect keeps only the volume the base and the others share.
