Bool Tool

Todo.

Activation

Description

Concepts

• Brush: Is an object used as a mask for the Boolean operation.

• Canvas: Is the object that keep the Boolean operation.

You can select any count of objects and apply all these objects to the active one as a Boolean brush. Just select the objects that you want to be a brush, select an object to set it as active and click in one of those operations:

Auto Boolean

• Difference Shift-Ctrl-NumpadMinus

  Remove the objects to the active.

  Union Shift-Ctrl-NumpadPlus

  Add the selected objects to the active object.

  Intersection Shift-Ctrl-NumpadAsterisk

  Apply an intersect operation between the selected objects and the active.

  Slice Shift-Ctrl-NumpadSlash

  Todo.

Brush Boolean

• Difference Ctrl-NumpadMinus

  Apply direct Difference to an object.

  Union Ctrl-NumpadPlus

  Apply direct Union to an object.

  Intersection Ctrl-NumpadAsterisk

  Apply direct Intersection to an object.

  Slice Ctrl-NumpadSlash

  Todo.

Preferences

Fast Transformation

When enable this option in the add-on preferences your G/R/S hotkeys will be replaced for a custom one that can handle objects visibility and Boolean modifiers before and after the transform operation to give a fast transform when using Boolean operations. It only works good when handling high-poly brush, if you try to use it in a low-poly brush when another high-poly brush is applied it will be slow yet since we have a bad Dependency Graph handling of that situation.
