Because of performance issues |
A compound containing pieces that intersect or touch is '''invalid''' for Boolean operations. Because of performance issues, checking if the pieces intersect is not done. Automatic geometry check (available for Boolean operations) is disabled for part compound as well. |
||
Since part compounds could contain self-intersecting it is not advised and therefor a bad idea to use part compounds for boolean operations. |

Introduction
This command creates a compound of any kind of topological shapes. These can be solids or meshes or any other kind of topological shapes.
Usage
Mark the topological shapes to be added to the compound in the tree view and choose Part > Make Compound
Notes
Warning
A compound containing pieces that intersect or touch is invalid for Boolean operations. Because of performance issues, checking if the pieces intersect is not done. Automatic geometry check (available for Boolean operations) is disabled for part compound as well.
