ShapeBooleanObject : shape {6b963d5f,6e243528} The ShapeBooleanObject allows you to combline splines into new shapes using boolean operations. Available in 3ds Max 2019 and higher.
Class instances not creatable by MAXScript
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_renderable(renderable) : booleanSpecifies whether the Shape Boolean is renderable.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_displayRenderMesh(displayRenderMesh) : boolean Specifies whether to display the rendered spline mesh in the viewport. Equivalent to the Enable in Viewport setting in the UI.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_useViewportSettings(useViewportSettings) : boolean Specifies whether to use a separate set of parameters to control how the spline is rendered in the viewport. When this is false, the same settings are used for both the viewport and renderer. When it is true, the render_viewport_* settings below are used instead.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_mapcoords(mapcoords) : booleanSpecifies whether to generate mapping coordinates.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.realWorldMapSize : boolean Specifies whether to use real world map size.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_displayRenderSettings(displayRenderSettings) : boolean Specifies whether to display Renderer settings (true) or Viewport settings in the Shape Boolean UI. This property corresponds to the Viewport / Renderer radio button.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_rectangular : boolean
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_viewport_rectangular : boolean Specifies whether to render the spline as an extruded rectangle (true) or as an extruded circle (false).
<ShapeBooleanObject>.thickness : float
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_viewport_thickness(viewport_thickness) : floatSpecifies the thickness of the rendered radial mesh, for rendering and viewport settings.

<ShapeBooleanObject>.angle : float
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_viewport_angle(viewport_angle) : float The angle of the radial sides, for the rendering and viewport settings.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_viewport_length : float The extrude segment length (height), when the render_rectangular property is true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_viewport_width : float The extrude segment width, when the render_rectangular property is true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_viewport_angle2 : float The angle used when render_rectangular is true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_aspect_locked : boolean
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_viewport_aspect_locked : boolean Specifies whether the aspect ratio between the rendered rectangle length and width is locked or not. The aspect ratio itself is calculated, and is not exposed as a parameter.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_auto_smooth : boolean Specifies wether the rendered mesh is smoothed.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.render_threshold : integerSpecifies the smoothing threshold, if auto smooth is true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.twist_correction : boolean Specifies whether twist correction is applied.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.cap : boolean Specifies whether to cap open ends on the rendered mesh.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.quad_cap : boolean Specifies whether to use a quad cap on the rendered mesh, if .cap is true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.cap_segments : integer Specifies the number of segments to use, if .quad_cap is true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.sphere_cap : float Specifies how spherical the cap is, in a range of 0.0 (flat) to 1.0 (spherical).
<ShapeBooleanObject>.steps : integerThe number of interpolation steps.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.optimize : boolean Specifies whether to optimize interpolation.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.adaptive : boolean Specifies whether to use adaptive interpolation.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.objects : maxObject array Contains an array of the operand objects in the shape boolean operation.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.operation : int array Specifies the boolean operation for each operand, with each item corresponding to an operand in the .objects array.
Possible values are:
<ShapeBooleanObject>.operand_tm : maxObject array An array of transforms for the corresponding operands in the .objects array.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.option : int array Specifies the boolean option applied to the corresponding operand in the .objects array. Possible values are:
<ShapeBooleanObject>.materialOption : integer Specifies the material options for the operand, where 0=Apply Operand Material, and 1=Retain Original Material.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.displayResult : integer Specifies whether to display the boolean operation result, where 0=false and 1=true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.displayOperands : integer Specifies whether to display the operands, where 0=false and 1=true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.operandDisplay : integer Specifies which operands to display, when .displayOperands=1, where 0=All Operands, and 1=Selected Operands.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.operandsAsEvaluated : integer Specifies whether to display operands as evaluated, where 0=false, and 1=true.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.seamType : int array Specifies the seam type, where each item in the array corresponds to the seam type setting for the corresponding operand in the .objects array.
Possible values are: 0=Simple, 1=Fillet, 2=Chamfer.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.seamSize : float array Specifies the seam size, where each item in the array corresponds to the seam size setting for the corresponding operand in the .objects array.
These properties are not exposed in the Shape Boolean UI.
<ShapeBooleanObject>.iconsize : float Gets or sets the Shape Boolean icon size in the viewport.

Methods:
<integer>GetNumOperands() Returns the number of operands in the ShapeBooleanObject.
<boolean>GetOperandName <index>index <&string>nameout
nameout is Out parameter Gets the name of the specified operand, as displayed in the Shape Boolean UI.
<boolean>SetOperandName <index>index <string>nameSets the name of the specified operand as displayed in the Shape Boolean UI. Note that this does not change the operand, that is, setting this to the name of another object in the scene does not make that object an operand. This is equivalent to the Rename command in the right-click menu for the operands list in the Shape Boolean UI.
