Description
PartDesign Boolean imports one or more PartDesign Bodies (said to be "tool Bodies") into the active Body and applies a Boolean operation (fuse, cut or common). PartDesign Clone can also be used.
How to use
- Activate the Body which is to receive the Boolean feature.
- Press the
Boolean button. - In Boolean Parameters, click on the Add body button. (The active body temporarily disappears from the 3D view)
- In the 3D view, select the Body to use in the Boolean feature. Repeat to add more Bodies.
- Select the type of Boolean operation in the drop down menu (Fuse, Cut or Common)
- Click OK.
Alternatively, a Body can be selected prior to pressing the Boolean button; it will be automatically be added and steps 3 & 4 won't be necessary.
Options
- Fuse: merges the tool body or bodies to the active body.
- Cut: subtracts the tool body or bodies from the active body.
- Common: extracts the intersection from the selected body or bodies with the active body
- Press the Remove body button to remove a body, by selecting it in the 3D view.
Properties
- DataType: sets the Boolean operation (Fuse, Cut, Common)
- DataLabel: name given to the operation, this name can be changed at convenience.
- DataGroup: lists the tool bodies.
- ViewDisplay: sets the display between 2 modes:
- Result (default): displays the result of the Boolean feature. In this mode, the tool Bodies cannot be displayed in their original state, even when their visibility is toggled on.
- Tools: displays the tool Bodies in their original state. This mode is useful when editing tool Bodies is needed.
- ViewSelectable: true or false. If set to false, the feature cannot be selected in the 3D view.
- ViewVisibility: true or false. Toggles the feature's visibility in the 3D view.
Limitations
- For Common to work with more than one tool Body, they must all intersect each other along with the active Body.
