High Quality disabled (left) and enabled (right).
There is, however, a disadvantage to the High Quality mode: when applied to complex objects, it may
take longer to generate the result.
Create Single Object
If you convert the Boole object to polygons (Functions > Current State To Object), this option controls
whether a single object is created or multiple objects (one for each object involved in the Boolean). If
the option is enabled, the Boole object’s Phong tag will be evaluated if present.
Hide New Edges
This command can be used to hide any additional edges created by the Boolean algorithm (above and
beyond the object’s cut edges). This serves a more cosmetic purpose than anything else. To make these
edges visible, enter edge mode (Tools > Edges) and choose Selection > Unhide All.
Create Phong Breaks At Intersections
This option breaks Phong shading at the cut edges of the newly created object. Note that the breaks
will only be visible if Create Single Object is also enabled.
Select Intersections
If you convert the Boole object to polygons (Functions > Current State To Object ) and this option is
enabled, the object’s cut edges will be selected (edge mode!).
