Boolean Slice Tool for trueSpace7.61
The boolean slice tool creates a slice through geometry by using the boolean cut function with a plane sized larger than the mesh and perpendicular to the active 3D viewport. Best control is in the orthographic views with the mesh centered in the view. Load into a scene to automatically install the button, widget and script.
Script comes pre-installed in the Unofficial trueSpace Updates - https://www.united3dartists.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=55
Installation:
- install the persistent base if it is not already installed
- drag the node into the link editor
- delete the node from the scene after install is complete
Usage:
- Select a mesh object in a 3D view
- Push the button and adjust the cut with the object navigation widget.
- Left click to start a new cut and commit the previous slice or ctrl+left click to start a new cut at the last cutter location and commit the previous slice.
-
- Left click to commit the slice and start a new cut using the default orientation
- Ctrl-left click to commit the slice and start a new cut in the current location ( this will be invisible because the commited cut and the new slice will be at the same location)
- Right click to end the tool and abort the last cut.
Notes:
- ortho views will have a more predictable default cut orientation
- It does not work with grouped objects.
- The name of the object will change during the boolean operation.
- A pivot will be added to the mesh.
- It will create extra veritces that are easily deleted.
- If you get the "Construction history will be removed" message - check the box and answer yes.
- If you continue to get the "Construction history will be removed" message then the dialog options may be stuck. To unstick them use the link editor to find the "Preferences/Dialog settings" node and check and uncheck the "Flatten objects" option.
