Using Boolean Tools

There are three ways to create boolean operations between two elements:

• Selecting the corresponding tool from the Mesh shelf.
• Choosing the tool from the context menu (Q).
• Using the following hotkeys: Union ("+"), Subtract ("-"), and Intersect ("Shift+-").

If Some Parts Has Dissapeared

If the source geometry consists of several closed parts and one of them has disappeared, click the button with the cursor icon in the Source section and select the part to which the operation should be applied.

Creating Operation Between Two Objects

To create an operation at the object level, first select the cutter (the object that will be connected to the second input of the node), then the source object, and run the tool.

Creating Operation Between Two SOP Nodes

To create an operation in the SOP container between two nodes, first select the cutter node, then the node with the source geometry, and run the tool.

Creating Operation Using Template Node

If only one node is active in the SOP container, but there is another node with the Template flag enabled, it will be used as the source geometry.
