BOOLEAN OPERATIONS

FERNANDOFERNANDO
It would be interesting to have Boolean operations in the modeling, such as union, intersection, subtraction...

    Look at FreeCAD for this, it has the functions you need and works quite well.

    No boolean mesh operations because it's too hard. That kind of thing is best done in CAD as @JohnM said and letting the automesher sort out the details.

    If possible it would be nice to have a tool which adds a mid surface if two surfaces are selected. This may help since most of the lower end CAD software do not have a mid-plane option. Additionally deleting surfaces would also help. Not sure if this would be on the cards for Mecway.

    @Mishal Could the mid-surface tool be the existing Project onto surface -> Mesh tool but instead of moving one surface to the location of another, it moves it only half way towards the other? It wouldn't work for T joints and might need some adjustment for corners.

    By "additionally deleting surfaces", do you mean the mid-surface tool would delete the two original surfaces?

    @Victor, probably the easier way to get a midsurface would be adding to the move/copy tool an extra option to use the normal+ or normal- as direction at a specific distance, the same as the extrusion tool have it today.

    After that the user should deal with the corners and things like that with the actual tools to move nodes, but having this will be a big advance.

    Another (guess that too complex to code) will be the posibility of select multiple surfaces in an imported CAD geometry to mesh only that surfaces.
