DoBoolean and splitting bodies

[gilsdorf_e]

Hi all,

I'm using booleans for a custom method as alternative for findUsingRay and FindUsingVector, as those have isses with non-planar faces.

I wonder how TransientBRep.DoBoolean( BlankBody As SurfaceBody, ToolBody As SurfaceBody, BooleanType As BooleanTypeEnum )

behaves, when the blank body is split into two or more bodies by the toolbody. How can I test for this?

Best regards

Erik

Hi Erik,

You can create TransientBReps from surfaces you created in the model, as shown here:

So just create the solids in the UI then use them to create the transient brep and do the boolean operation on them.

Cheers,
