Subtract Interference Body from Part

[ga42bon]

Hello together,

I want check two objects for a collision in assembly. Therefore I developed an Addin with the Inventor API to use the "Interference Analysis" for those objects in an AssemblyDocument.

If there is an interference as a result of my check, I want to substract the "Interference Body" of the first object in its PartDocument.

Is there a way to use the SurfaceBody "InterferenceResult.InterferenceBody" to substract it from the first object in its PartDocument?

There is a screenshot inserted below to visualise the interference analysis of the two objects. I want to use the Inventor API to substract the red Interference Body of the grey object.   

Thank you for your help!

I think you will have to derive the interfering body.ipt into the main body.ipt, relocate the origin of the body based on assembly coordinates, and then use a combine feature to subtract the body.

Thank you for your answer, @SometimesInventorMakesMeAngry! 

I'll try that. I might have some problems implementing this because I'm quite new to the Inventor API.

So I might get back at you if that's okay.

I've used the API for awhile, but I've never actually used any of the API implementations of the mentioned features. I find writing whatever method you intend to use in your add-in in Inventor's VBA editor is great for prototyping. If you've used these features before, it's usually not that hard to figure out its API equivalent.

I can try to help if needed.
