Description
Cuts (subtracts) selected Part objects, the last one being subtracted from the first one. This operation is fully parametric and the components can be modified and the result recomputed.
Note: This command is an automated form of the Boolean operation.
Usage
- Select two shapes
- Invoke the Part Cut command several ways:
Supported inputs
Input objects must be OpenCascade shapes. Examples: stuff made with Part, PartDesign, Sketcher workbenches. Not meshes (unless those were converted to shapes) - for meshes, there are specific Boolean tools in MeshDesign workbench.
- Primitives: Box, Cone, Cylinder, Sphere, Torus, Create primitives, Shape builder
- Modifying objects: Boolean, Union, Common, Cut, Join features, Connect, Embed, Cutout
