Boolean opperations on surfaces
Boolean opperations on surfaces
(OP)
Attached is a simple model of two intersecting sheet bodies.
I want to know whether it is possible to eliminate all surfaces located in the intersecting volumes between the two sheet bodies and basically be left with only that which you can see from the outside of the surfaces?
I have tried a few things with the standard 'Subtract' and 'Intersect' functions but to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Yes, thank you, I see it is quite simple.
I need the bodies to be surfaces. Is it possible to extract the surfaces of the bodies after the boolean operations? I'm sure it is, I will give it a go.

For first question: You can use Trim body twice.
For second: For exstract sheet body from solidbody You can use Extract Geometry with Type:Face; Face Option:Face Chain.
