Partition

To produce a Partition in the Main Menu select Operations - > Partition

This operation builds a compound by intersection of several shapes with a tool object or a plane.

The Result will be any GEOM_Object.

Intersection of two shapes.

As far as the intersection of two objects can produce any type of geometrical objects, Reconstruction Limit box allows choosing the preferrable result, i.e. a solid, a shell, a list of faces, etc.

TUI Command: geompy.MakePartition(ListOfShapes, ListOfTools, ListOfKeepInside, ListOfRemoveInside, Limit, RemoveWebs, ListOfMaterials), where ListOfShapes is a list of shapes to be intersected and  ListOfTools is a list of shapes to intersect the shapes from ListOfShapes.

Since the implementation of a new version of PartitionAlgo other parameters are ignored by the current functionality and remain there only to support the old scripts.  

Arguments: Name + 2 lists of shapes (the shapes from the first list will be intersected with the shapes from the second list) + reconstruction limit.

Keep nonlimit shapes checkbox allows building geometrical objects of all types at the same time i.e. no reconstruction limit is applied.

Intersection of a Shape and a Plane.

TUI Command  geompy.MakeHalfPartition(Shapes, Plane), where Shapes are a list of Shapes to be intersected and Plane is a Tool shape, to intersect the Shapes.

Arguments: Name + a list of shapes which will be intersected + 1 cutting plane.

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of the use of Basic Operations.
