Boolean Operation
The fence is operand A, and the cat is operand B.
Upper left and right: A minus B
Second to upper left: B minus A
Second to lower left: Union
Lower left: Intersection
A Boolean object combines two objects by performing a Boolean operation
on them. In the software, a Boolean object is made from two overlapping
objects. The original two objects are the operands (A and B) and the Boolean
object itself is the result of the operation.
For geometry, the Boolean operations are:
■ Union: The Boolean object contains the volume of both original objects.
The intersecting or overlapping portion of the geometry is removed.
■ Intersection: The Boolean object contains only the volume that was
common to both original objects (in other words, where they overlapped).
