Transforming geometrical objects

The objects created in Salome can be processed with Transformation operations, which can be classified into:

• Boolean operations, which allow combining objects with boolean logical operators.

• Transformation operations, which modify shape or location of the selected object.

• Features, which allow adding or removing matter from an object.

• Operations with Blocks.

• Partition operation, which creates a compound by intersection of several shapes with a tool object or a plane.
• Archimede operation, which creates a plane corresponding to the modelled waterline of the object plunged into water.
• Get shapes on shape operation, a special case of Explode operation.
• Get shared shapes operation, a special case of Explode operation.
• Transfer Data operation, which copies non-topological data from one shape to another.

• Extract and Rebuild operation, which extracts sub-shapes from the main shape.

• Restore presentation parameters. This cross-operation functionality allows the resulting shape to inherit colors and sub-shapes from its parent shapes.
