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.
