As a result of this operation, the objects included in the Operand A and Operand B fields are divided into smaller objects (subcontours/solids) comprising the geometry of the input objects. It means that three object groups are determined:
- Complement of the A and B objects, i.e. (A - B)
- Complement of the B and A objects, i.e. (B - A)
- Common part of the B and A objects, i.e. (A * B).
Note that groups A and B are treated as a whole. In other words, as a sum of component objects.
