Boolean Operations

[triplus]

Simple question:

If FreeCAD would have general tolerance setting (not only for booleans) could that work and would it make boolean operations faster?

Example: user would have unit set to mm and could set single FreeCAD tolerance setting in preferences to 0,01 or 0,001 as that would be close enough to get the job done.

Hi @Kunda1.

I tested the BOA Union operation between Sweep001 and Sweep004 on OCE from Ubuntu PPA (FreeCAD stable/daily) and with self compiled OCC7 + FreeCAD daily and the operation succeeded successfully. I added the note and reference to the issue report as it can be closed.
