Solid Intersect

Overview

A Boolean AND node that keeps only the overlap between two solids. It trims one solid to the shape of the other, like cutting it with a die.

• Coordinate system: z-up (x right, y back, z up). Sizes are in units and are converted to pixels by pixels_per_unit during rendering.

Usage tips

• Choose among the three siblings by intent: solid_combine adds, solid_subtract removes, and Intersect keeps only the common area. Use Intersect to trim protrusions or create a cross-section.
• The go-to "cut with a box" technique intersects a large shape with solid_box. This can turn a sphere into a dome or a torus into an arch.
• You can also create a rounded box by intersecting solid_box × solid_sphere. solid_round is more direct for simple rounding, but intersection offers more freedom in the resulting shape.

Examples

Intersect a sphere and a box to create a rounded tile, for example.
