Description

The command Part XOR removes geometry shared by an even number of objects and leaves a void space between the involved objects. (For two objects it represents a symmetric version of Cut).

Three overlapping objects -> Result object

Void spaces are hard to detect if the cover faces are not coplanar.

Usage

Select two or more objects.
There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Select the Part → Boolean → Boolean XOR option from the menu.
- Press the Boolean XOR button.
