Description
The Mesh Intersection command creates a new non-parametric mesh object, a Mesh Feature, that is the intersection (common) of two mesh objects.
OpenSCAD must be installed to use this command, and the path to its executable must be set in the OpenSCAD preferences.
On the left two mesh objects, on the right the mesh object that is the intersection of those objects
Usage
- Select two mesh objects that partially overlap.
- Select the Meshes → Boolean → Intersection option from the menu.
Properties
See: Mesh Feature.
Mesh
- Miscellaneous: Import mesh, Export mesh, Create mesh from shape, Regular solid, Unwrap Mesh, Unwrap Face
- Modifying: Harmonize normals, Flip normals, Fill holes, Close hole, Add triangle, Remove components, Remove components by hand, Smooth, Refinement, Decimation, Scale
- Boolean: Union, Intersection, Difference
- Cutting: Cut mesh, Trim mesh, Trim mesh with a plane, Create section from mesh and plane, Cross-sections
