When the Double-operand Boolean operation option is selected in the Object combinations dialog, the following displays:
To perform this operation:
- Define the number of the complex object to be created from the selected objects.
- Select a double-operand operation.
- Select the type of logical operation. The following types are available for double-operand operations: union, complement, common part, exclusive alternative, mixed type, or additionally, inclusion and partition (A-B) (B-A) (A*B) (when using Solid Modeler).
- Indicate the objects to be entered in operands A and B of the logical operation.
- For a mixed operation type, you should click the (...) button and select the required options for operands A and B at the bottom of the dialog that has unfolded. If you select an operation that is a union, complement, common part, or exclusive alternative, Robot automatically selects the appropriate options at the bottom of the dialog. Clicking the (...) button again returns you to the original shortened form of the dialog.
- Click Apply.
Robot creates a complex object based on the defined parameters. After the "<<" button is clicked, the Object Combinations dialog is enlarged and the definition of the newly-created complex object is entered in the additional field. The definition covers:
- Number of the complex object.
- Numbers of the component objects making up the complex object.
- Name of the logical (Boolean) operation.
Successive complex objects are displayed in the form of a tree.
To restore the original size of the dialog, click the ">>" button.
You can also define additional parameters for creating complex objects. After the Advanced settings button is clicked, a dialog displays that allows you to define the additional parameters.
