Wireframe Intersection

To access this screen:

Take two wireframe objects (or wireframe triangle selections, or a combination) and create a new wireframe object representing their overlapping (common) volume.

Note: this command is also available using the BOOLEAN process (@METHOD=3)

Note: the order in which inputs are chosen is not important for this command.

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.

Intersection Example

Original Wireframe Objects

  

Object 1

Object 2

Output

  1. Load both wireframe objects that will be considered during the Boolean calculation.

  2. Choose the data to represent Wireframe 1. This can either be an entire Object, or the Selected triangles of one or multiple wireframe objects.

    Note: if using selected triangles, click Store current selection to identify the data to be used in calculations. If you change your selection, remember to reselect this button to ensure the input data is updated.

  3. Do the same for Wireframe 2.

    Note: you don't have to follow the same data selection method as Wireframe 1 (for example, Wireframe 1 could be a full object and Wireframe 2 could be selected triangles).

  4. Create Output data either within the Current object, an existing wireframe object (pick it from the list) or a new object (type a new name).
