Boolean for solids

Trim for surfaces

Both will use “projection” with the cutter so it doesnt need to be placed “on” the obect.

There is also an old “quick split” scripts that will quickly divide objects like that

I've no scripts installed yet, but would you be a little more specific on how best to use the boolean tool here for solids?

I've been using booleans an awful lot since buying MoI3d a few days ago.

Fantastic software MoI3d is, I'm still learning! Better than... cough... Rhino IMHO (even though Michael 'invented' that too!)

Boolean DIff ?
Right Click for Done
Click Volume not wanted
Press Key Delete (or red X) for kill line + volume not wanted in the same time!

For a cylinder take a diameter! ;)
For a complex object take a plane (or an extruded line/curve )

Fantastic! Thanks Pilou! Perfect.

Press "Keep object" if you want 2 objects! ;)

This should have the little nugget you were looking for!

A cool function can be the Native ExplodeMove after a multiple Boolean (Merge here) ! ;)

Voronoi for the perpendicular faces!




Boolean Merge the 2 perpendicular planar curves
then ExplodeMove as shortCut or Press Tab and write ExplodeMove


Of course ExplodeMove will work also with some Boolean Diff! ;)
