Part Bodies Unite with boolean operations in FreeCAD

Post by dfosorio11 »

Hello my dear community and pro FC developers!

I hope everyone is doing great! I am currently working with Assembly and Part WBs in order to create compounds to process. Compounds have multiple bodies and each body has a different unique material. The post-processing of the exported files is done in a Python Lib using .asc Point Clouds, .stl Mesh files, etc.

I need to insert inside a body's defined volume several other internal body parts and it's very important that the material properties of the inner body part does NOT overwrite. I attach an example of an outer and inner body part. This means that for example outside material body part is material1 for all the points in the external geometry, and all the points enclosed by the inner body part are material 2, and that they do not overlap, mix whatsoever.

What boolean tool or unite(macro, whatever)shall I use to carry out this purpose.

Big hugs, as usual
Diego
