Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
Hi,
is there any technical reason why Boolean-Fragments is not available in 'Boolean operation' in PDN?
If not, then I will create a feature request in Mantis.

Re: Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
I'm not very familiar with that tool, but doesn't it always produce mutliple solids in a compound? If so the created geometry would be invalid in PartDesign. We would need to skip some of the solids, and this would than be the same result as the current available booleans.
Re: Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
To be honest i do expect questions like this emerging often after FreeCAD 0.17 will be released. Please add "my favorite FreeCAD command" to the PD workflow.
P.S. Sooner or latter this will be tackled in some sensible way (but highly likely not for FreeCAD 0.17).

And the reverse of that, which happens to me. "Please make my_favouite_feature be usable outside of PartDesign".

I see your point . Nevertheless, I will stick to my mixed PDN-Part-wb workflow since it is not possible to use this functionality in PDN .

Re: Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
Interesting.... but than why can I add an BooleanFragment from Part-Wb to a PDN-Body? BR,

Re: Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
I can imagine that when using multiple bodies it could be possible in some way...triplus wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2017 11:43 am To be honest i do expect questions like this emerging often after FreeCAD 0.17 will be released. Please add "my favorite FreeCAD command" to the PD workflow.

example:
if you start with the two bodies of HoWil. That when using boolean fragments the result are the tree bodies that normal are the output of the Part workbench. Only you have automatically add tree body and add the results in each...
Re: Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
You cant, as said it is not a valid operation in PartDesign. And you found the solution: just use it on the bodies. this is what you actually want.Interesting.... but than why can I add an BooleanFragment from Part-Wb to a PDN-Body?
Re: Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
I guess a little patience goes a long way. And the truth is we will likely need some of that. And therefore we will first give FreeCAD 0.17 a fighting chance and just figure out the rest along the way.
Re: Boolean-Fragments as Boolean operation in PDN
Hello!
I know this thread is older, but i think Boolean Fragments are useful in the PartDesign Workbench. For examples for threads. When you make CompSolids, the are good to visualize in sections (in 3D and 2D).
Here a example in 2D: And here in 3D At the moment i make this with PartDesign Workbench, Clones (from PartDesign) and make a CompSolid in the Part Workbench. But everytime i want to change something little in the Bodys in Part Design Workbench, FreeCAD asks me everytime if i want it to migrate something in the PartDesign (which already is).
Just a thought from me .....
Sorry for bad english
