Where are the boolean operation methods for Solid and Brep geometries? #6982
-
Completely noobie here.. I can only find the boolean operations as well as the examples for polyface, and I assume polyface indicates mesh face only, and which doesn't support nurb surface face. Does itwinjs provide any supports for brep boolean operations? |

Can you elaborate on exactly what you are trying to achieve? Are you looking to create a geometric element whose geometry is the result of Boolean operations between solids/surfaces? |

The iTwin platform doesn't include a comprehensive public api for working with breps. Internally, our applications use a licensed 3rd party library. iTwin platform support for breps is mostly limited to display, mass properties, and snapping. There are minimal alpha apis that support creating elements through specifying the inputs to a boolean operation that could satisfy 2, but that's pretty much it, there is no access to topology (faces, edges, vertices). From the ts side the brep is a black box. |
