​
About this Block

What it does: The Boolean Subtract block uses a list of Implicit Bodies to remove volume from another Body. A blend is applied at the intersection of each body to control the transition between each volume, and can be sharp, rounded, continuous, or chamfered.
Tips
  • Apply a fillet by using the ‘Rounded’ Blend Type.
  • Apply a chamfer by using the ‘Chamfered’ Blend Type.
  • To retain the shape features, use the ‘Sharp’ Blend Type.
  • To achieve a smoothed appearance between edges, use the ‘Continuous’ Blend Type.
  • To subtract more than 2 bodies by clicking on the + button in the upper right-hand corner of the Implicit Body List block.
  • The angle of the Chamfered and Rounded blend types cannot be changed.
  • We suggest keeping a small overlap between Implicit bodies and avoid face-on-face or line-on-line subtractions.
