surfaceBooleanFeatures [OPTIONS] action surface1 surface2

Description

Generates a extendedFeatureEdgeMesh for the interface created by a boolean
operation on two surfaces. [Compiled with CGAL]

Arguments

  • action
    One of (intersection | union | difference)
  • surface1
    The input surface file 1
  • surface2
    The input surface file 2

Options

  • -case dir
    Specify case directory to use (instead of cwd)
  • -invertedSpace
    Do the surfaces have inverted space orientation, i.e. a point at infinity is considered inside. This is only sensible for union and intersection.
  • -no-cgal
    Do not use CGAL algorithms
  • -perturb
    Perturb surface points to escape degenerate intersections
  • -scale factor
    Geometry scaling factor (both surfaces)
  • -surf1Baffle
    Mark surface 1 as a baffle
  • -surf2Baffle
    Mark surface 2 as a baffle
  • -trim *((surface1 volumeType) .. (surfaceN volumeType))*
    Trim resulting intersection with additional surfaces; volumeType is 'inside' (keep (parts of) edges that are inside), 'outside' (keep (parts of) edges that are outside) or 'mixed' (keep all)

ADVANCED OPTIONS

  • -debug-switch name=val

  • -fileHandler handler
    Override the file handler type
  • -info-switch name=val
    Specify the value of a registered info switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times)
  • -lib name
    Additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)
  • -noFunctionObjects
    Do not execute function objects
  • -opt-switch name=val
    Specify the value of a registered optimisation switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times)
  • -doc-source
    Display source code in browser
  • -help-man
