Using Boolean Operations


You can use the following boolean operations for construction of more complex geometrical objects (2D & 3D elements):

There is a general TUI command covering all these operations, which can be used alongside with separate commands for each operation.

geompy.MakeBoolean(Shape1, Shape2, Operation), where Shape1 is the first argument and Shape2 is the second argument of Boolean operation, Operation is a type of the Boolean operation (1 — Common, 2 — Cut, 3 — Fuse, 4 — Section).

Besides, you can use advanced TUI commands performing these operations independently from each other:

geompy.MakeFuse(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Fuse operation;
geompy.MakeCommon(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Common operation;
geompy.MakeCut(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Cut operation;
geompy.MakeSection(Shape1, Shape2), where Shape1 and Shape2 is the second argument of Section operation;


Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of the use of Boolean Operations.
