Description
The Part XOR command removes geometry shared by an even number of objects and leaves a void space between the involved objects. For two objects it represents a symmetric version of Part Cut.
Three overlapping objects → Result object
Usage
- Select two or more objects. It is also possible to select a Part Compound containing two or more objects.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the
Boolean XOR button.
- Select the Part → Split →
Boolean XOR option from the menu.
- Press the
Notes
- Void spaces are hard to detect if the selected objects do not have co-planar faces. To verify the XOR result the Std ToggleClipPlane can then be used.
