Intersections and interference.

Hi there.

I'm thinking of writing some tools for designing boxes to be cut from wood. There are a few box creators online, they're simple when they work and have very few features.

I want to be able to lay out a framework and have the background generate all the cut outs, angles, intersections etc. I'm happy with the designing part, creating and manipulating basic shapes, pulling faces, but I've never worked with any 'cross body' interactions. Are there any tools around to help with boolean operations between multiple bodies? I don't fancy tackling that one myself!

Many thanks.

 

May be a better approach to have surfaces which you attached bevelled end pieces or dovetails etc. to and combineMesh.
