polyBoolOp

A polyBoolOp node is created when you perform a boolean operation using the legacy boolean algorithm.

You can use the following attributes to edit your boolean operation.

Tip To use the legacy boolean algorithm, select Mesh > Booleans > Union/Difference/Intersection > , and then enable Use legacy Boolean algorithm.

Operation

Lets you switch to a different type of operation after a boolean operation has been performed.

union

Combines the volume of the selected meshes.

difference

Subtracts the volume of the second selected mesh from the first.

intersection

Leaves only the shared volume of the selected meshes.

Use Thresholds

When enabled, the boolean operation automatically checks for and removes very small faces and edges using the specified Vertex Distance Threshold and Face Area Threshold values.

Vertex Distance Threshold

Checks for zero length (or very short) edges. Any vertices closer than the specified value will automatically be merged into one vertex.

NoteA large Vertex Distance Threshold value may cause parts of the mesh to disappear or extract from the original geometry. To fix this problem, disable Use Thresholds or decrease the Vertex Distance Threshold value.

Face Area Threshold

Checks for zero area (or very small) faces. Any faces with an area smaller than the specified value will automatically be collapsed into one vertex.

NoteA large Face Area Threshold value may cause parts of the mesh to disappear or extract from the original geometry. To fix this problem, disable Use Thresholds or decrease the Face Area Threshold value.
