Intersect

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Pro and Platinum, Bricscad (Linux) Pro

Performs Boolean intersection operations on 3D solids and 2D regions; removes all but common portions.

Accessing the Command

command bar:  intersect

alias:  in

menu bar:  Modify | Solid Editing | Intersect

toolbar:  Solid Editing |

: intersect

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select ACIS object to intersect: (Choose one 3D solid and/or 2D region.)

Entities in set: 1

Select ACIS object to intersect: (Choose another 3D solid and/or 2D region.)

Entities in set: 2

Select ACIS object to intersect: (Choose more ACIS entities, or press Enter to perform the intersection.)

Bricscad removes all but common volumes and areas from the selected entities.

This command also applies to regions:

Caution: if solids and regions do not intersect, Bricscad erases them.
