cut meshes/surfaces at intersection

Open andrea-bistacchi opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, is it possible to cut a mesh/surface at the intersection with another one?

I don’t understand if the Boolean tools can be used in this way, particularly on open surfaces.

Thanks very much!

Hey, yeah boolean operations are quite unreliable, and don't really work on open surfaces. You might try mesh.slice_plane if you're "cutting" by something planar.
