Boolean Operations on Surfaces with Specifying Normal Directions

One indication to using Boolean operations on surface bodies is creation of corners. To do this, the surface bodies in the command should intersect and the normal directions should be specified for them. Depending on the normal directions of the surface surfaces and the type of the used Boolean operation, different surface bodies are produced as a result.  Note that the normal directions are preserved on the resulting body.

1. Target body

2. Tool body

3. Result of Boolean Addition, the option Operands Treatment > Target, Tool > Behind Normal is enabled

4. Result of Boolean Subtraction, the option Operands Treatment > Target, Tool > Behind Normal is enabled

5. Result of Boolean Intersection, the option Operands Treatment > Target, Tool > Behind Normal is enabled
