4.2    Boolean Operations

The Boolean operations for geometrical objects can be accessed through the QW-Modeller Ribbon's Geometry tab, in Boolean button in Tools section.

The following Boolean operations are allowed:

·         gluing shapes together with Union command,

·         making a cut of two shapes using Cut command,

·         making an intersection of two shapes using Intersection command,

• connecting interiors of two walled objects using Connect command,

·         embedding a walled object into another walled object using Embed command,

·         creating a cutout in a walled object to fit another walled object using Cutout command.

All geometrical shapes in QW-Modeller are parameterised and if one of the base shapes will change, the resulting shape (i.e. after Cut operation) will change automatically. The refined shape after each boolean operation can be obtained manually or automatically (see Refine Shape chapter for more information).
