Item 1: Mesh Boolean Operation
 
Author SYCODE Product Testing Team
Description This is a simple example of a boolean operation (subtraction) carried out on meshes. Box.3dm is a mesh describing a box having 6 quad faces. Sphere.3dm is a mesh describing a sphere having 900 faces (840 quads and 60 triangles). Mesh To Solid was used to convert both the meshes into ACIS solids, which were later imported into AutoCAD using the "ACISIN" command. The sphere was then subtracted from the box to yield a new solid.

Description Mesh To Solid was used to convert this mesh (having 116 triangular faces) into an ACIS solid. The solid was later imported into AutoCAD and shelled using AutoCAD's solid modeling commands.
