Hi Brian, yes it would be - that is the way to currently achieve that.

What I would actually do would be to first do a copy, then do the boolean, then do the paste after the boolean is all done.

That way you don't have any time where there are 2 copies of an object stacked right directly on top of each other, which can make selection more difficult.

HI Brian you are not missing any thing but you are thausends miles away, hahaha
i added 2 lines to boolean diff script:copy and paste. and is working.

// config: norepeat

#include "GetObjects.js"

function DoDifference()
{
var objectpicker = moi.ui.createObjectPicker();
objectpicker.allowBReps();
objectpicker.allowCurves();

if ( !GetObjects( objectpicker ) )
return;

var baseobjects = objectpicker.objects;

moi.ui.beginUIUpdate();
moi.ui.hideUI( 'FirstSelectPrompt' );
moi.ui.showUI( 'SecondSelectPrompt' );
moi.ui.endUIUpdate();

if ( !GetObjects( objectpicker ) )
return;

moi.geometryDatabase.copyToClipboardCommand( objectpicker.objects );

var subtractobjects = objectpicker.objects;

var factory = moi.command.createFactory( 'booleandifference' );
factory.setInput( 0, baseobjects );
factory.setInput( 1, subtractobjects );

moi.geometryDatabase.pasteFromClipboard();

factory.commit();
}

DoDifference();

I think I would prefer to keep the simplicity of how it now works.
Especially the idea of withholding the paste until later! I had not given a though to any ability to do that!

And it's everyone usually being 2000miles away from me not the other way around---well I like to think so!
