Command Overview

Use two open or closed wireframe objects (or two selections of wireframe triangle data, or a combination of object and selection) to create another wireframe object which represents the first wireframe data with any volume shared with the second wireframe data removed.

You can optionally set a Key field for each input wireframe. Use <None> to disable key-based grouping for an input.

Output Wireframe can be generated as a Single Object or as Multiple New Objects. Multiple output objects are created from key-field grouping, while single-object output stores all resultant wireframe data in one object.

Note: this command is also available using the BOOLEAN process (@METHOD=2)

Note: selection order is important for this command. The result of (Wireframe 1 - Wireframe 2) may be different from (Wireframe 2 - Wireframe 1).

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.
