TransientBRep.DoBoolean Method

Parent Object: TransientBRep

Description

Method that performs the specified Boolean operation between the blank and tool bodies.

Remarks

If successful, the blank body is modified as a result of the Boolean operation. Because of this the BlankBody must always be a transient SurfaceBody. The toolbody is not modified. This is analogous to a machining operation where you have the blank that is being machined and the tool that removes material.

Syntax

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

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
BlankBody	SurfaceBody	Input/Output SurfaceBody that will be modified as a result.
ToolBody	SurfaceBody	Input SurfaceBody that is used to operate on the blank body.
BooleanType	BooleanTypeEnum	Input BooleanTypeEnum that specifies the type of Boolean operation to perform. Valid values are kBooleanTypeDifference, kBooleanTypeUnion, and kBooleanTypeIntersect.
