Detailed Description

Function Documentation

def MakeBoolean	(		self,
			theShape1,
			theShape2,
			theOperation,
			checkSelfInte = False,
			theName = None
	)

Perform one of boolean operations on two given shapes.

Parameters

theShape1	First argument for boolean operation.
theShape2	Second argument for boolean operation.
theOperation	Indicates the operation to be done: 1 - Common, 2 - Cut, 3 - Fuse, 4 - Section.
checkSelfInte	The flag that tells if the arguments should be checked for self-intersection prior to the operation.
theName	Object name; when specified, this parameter is used for result publication in the study. Otherwise, if automatic publication is switched on, default value is used for result name.

Note

This algorithm doesn't find all types of self-intersections. It is tuned to detect vertex/vertex, vertex/edge, edge/edge, vertex/face and edge/face intersections. Face/face intersections detection is switched off as it is a time-consuming operation that gives an impact on performance. To find all self-intersections please use CheckSelfIntersections() method.

Returns

New GEOM.GEOM_Object, containing the result shape.

def MakeCommon	(		self,
			theShape1,
			theShape2,
			checkSelfInte = False,
			theName = None
	)

Perform Common boolean operation on two given shapes.

Parameters

theShape1	First argument for boolean operation.
theShape2	Second argument for boolean operation.
checkSelfInte	The flag that tells if the arguments should be checked for self-intersection prior to the operation.
theName	Object name; when specified, this parameter is used for result publication in the study. Otherwise, if automatic publication is switched on, default value is used for result name.

def MakeCut	(		self,
			theShape1,
			theShape2,
			checkSelfInte = False,
			theName = None
	)

Perform Cut boolean operation on two given shapes.

Parameters

theShape1	First argument for boolean operation.
theShape2	Second argument for boolean operation.
checkSelfInte	The flag that tells if the arguments should be checked for self-intersection prior to the operation.
theName	Object name; when specified, this parameter is used for result publication in the study. Otherwise, if automatic publication is switched on, default value is used for result name.

def MakeFuse	(		self,
			theShape1,
			theShape2,
			checkSelfInte = False,
			rmExtraEdges = False,
			theName = None
	)

Perform Fuse boolean operation on two given shapes.

Parameters

theShape1	First argument for boolean operation.
theShape2	Second argument for boolean operation.
checkSelfInte	The flag that tells if the arguments should be checked for self-intersection prior to the operation.
rmExtraEdges	The flag that tells if Remove Extra Edges operation should be performed during the operation.
theName	Object name; when specified, this parameter is used for result publication in the study. Otherwise, if automatic publication is switched on, default value is used for result name.

def MakeSection	(		self,
			theShape1,
			theShape2,
			checkSelfInte = False,
			theName = None
	)

Perform Section boolean operation on two given shapes.

Parameters

theShape1	First argument for boolean operation.
theShape2	Second argument for boolean operation.
checkSelfInte	The flag that tells if the arguments should be checked for self-intersection prior to the operation. If a self-intersection detected the operation fails.
theName	Object name; when specified, this parameter is used for result publication in the study. Otherwise, if automatic publication is switched on, default value is used for result name.

Returns

New GEOM.GEOM_Object, containing the result shape.

Parameters

theShapesList	Shapes to be fused.
checkSelfInte	The flag that tells if the arguments should be checked for self-intersection prior to the operation.
