Boolean Operations on Entities
Type of the resulting geometry in a Boolean operation depends on types of the two geometries involved. When both objects are
BSpline Brep geometries, the result is also BSpline Brep. When either object has any other type
the result will have mesh type. This is true for all operations other than Surface Intersection.
Surface Intersection on such geometries will result in a set of curves of "SegmentStrip" geometry type.
To perform Boolean subtract in Model Explorer of the component, make the first object current using Set Current button, Select the second object
and in action menu of the explorer select Subtract. If the control key was held
just before the command the operation will include children of both objects as
if they were solids.
Query IBooleanEntity_DG
interface form the relevant IEntity_DG to carry out Boolean operations programmatically.
