Select which tools to keep with Boolean

Brian_McVeigh

When using the boolean tool, particularly with intersect, quite often I want to keep some of the tools, but not all of them - it'd be nice if you could pick which tools to keep rather than all or none.

Do you mean like the "subtract_complement" option in FS

@Brian_McVeigh This is the sort of thing FeatureScrip is great for.  little mods to existing tools .. different behaviors etc.  For now we will push that to FS to address.

Here's a copy of our boolean feature that introduces a list of "exceptions" to the keep tools checkbox: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a514c2d55e2f622a19dde5b9/v/59bca99f60f178b75e567fac/e/ad3fdc4ffa4435301661bff8
exceptions are tools to keep if "keep tools" is unchecked or tools to not keep if it is checked.

That's ace, thanks!

+1 for this, although I'd prefer to not have tools at all.  I'd rather intersect all selected parts and then choose which pieces to keep.
