Stock Outside Cutter—The result contains the p ar ts
of the stock outside of all of the cutters. This option
givesyouasimilarresulttoaBooleansubtraction
of the cutters from the stock objects. The gold part
of the object in the following il lustration results
from this option.
Stock Inside Cutter—The result contains the parts
of the stock inside one or more cutters. This option
gives you similar results to a Boolean intersection
of the c utters and the stock objects. There is
some difference because each cutter is treated
individually. The green, blue and red parts of the
object on the left side of the following illustration
are the results of this option.
Cutters Outside Stock —The result contains the
parts of t he cutters that are not inside the stock
objects. Note that the cutters will cut each other if
they intersect also. You c an see in the following
illustration. The parts on the right side of the
following illustration that are not present on the
left side are results of this option.
Cylinder and sphere as cutters and box as stock
Left: Keeping stock inside a nd outside cutters
Right: Keeping stock inside/outside cutters and cutters outside
stock
Display —Choose one of the follow ing display
modes:
•
Show Result—Displays the result of the Boolean
operations.
•
Show Ops—Displays the operands that define
the Boolean result. Use this mode to edit the
operands and modify t he result.
Apply M aterial—Choose one of the following
material application modes:
•
Apply Opera nd M ater i al—New faces created by
the Boolean operation acquire the material of
the operand.
•
Retain Or iginal Material—New faces created by
the B oolean operation retain the material of the
original object.

These functions operate on operands highlighted
in the h ierarchy view list (see follow i ng).
