opBoolean subtraction parameters

graham_lock

Hi,

I have the following inputs:

annotation { "Name" : "Start Former", "Filter" : EntityType.BODY, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
definition.startFormer is Query;

    annotation { "Name" : "End Former", "Filter" : EntityType.BODY, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
    definition.endFormer is Query;

I set local consts for those queries:

const startFormer = definition.startFormer;

const endFormer = definition.endFormer;

I create sketches on faces of the above parts.

I then create a loft between the sketch elements created on those faces.

opLoft(context, id + "loft1", {
"profileSubqueries" : [ qSketchRegion(id + "sketchStartFormer"), qSketchRegion(id + "sketchEndFormer") ],

            });

I then want to cut the lofted part into the startFormer and endFormer parts.

I'm having problems with the cut, I've been trying variations of:

opBoolean(context, id + "boolean1", {
"tools" : qCreatedBy(id + "loft1"),
"operationType" : BooleanOperationType.SUBTRACTION,
"targets" : qUnion(startFormer, endFormer),
"keepTools" : true
});

but I can't get past invalid input errors.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

specify entity type in qCreatedBy(id+"loft1", EntityType.BODY)

qCreatedby will give you everything. Faces, edges, verticles, etc.
But opBoolean will only take in bodies.
