Wireframe Boolean Operations
The full combination of operations and their inputs and outputs are summarised in the following table:
| Operation | Inputs | Output Wireframes | No. of Output Wireframes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOLID UNION | Solids A, B1, B2..Bn | A+B1+B2+..+Bn | 1 |
| SOLID INTERSECTION | Solids A, B1, B2..Bn | A&B1&B2&..&Bn | 1 |
| SOLID DIFFERENCE (A-B) | Solids A, B1, B2..Bn | A-(B1 + ..+ Bn) | 1 |
| SOLID DIFFERENCE (B-A) | Solids A, B1, B2..Bn | (B1 + ..+ Bn)-A | 1 |
| SOLID ABOVE SURFACE | A-surface, B1..Bn-Solids | Independent solids above surface | n |
| SOLID BELOW SURFACE | A-surface, B1..Bn-Solids | Independent solids above surface | n |
| SURFACE DIFFERENCE (A-B) | Surfaces A, B1..Bn | A-(B1 + ..+ Bn) | 1 |
| SURFACE DIFFERENCE (B-A) | Surfaces A, B1..Bn | (B1 + ..+ Bn)-A | 1 |
| SURFACE MERGE | Surfaces A, B1..Bn | A1+B1+..+Bn | 1 |
| SURFACE INTERSECTION | Surfaces A, B1..Bn | A1&B1&..&Bn | 1 |
| SURFACE INSIDE SOLID | A-surface, B1..Bn-Solids | Surfaces inside many solids | n |
| SURFACE OUTSIDE SOLID | A-surface, B1..Bn-Solids | Surfaces outside many solids | n |
