3-D Cut

The resulting object is a Join Bodies object type that allows you to revisit the Operands as subobjects and in
the Operator Parameters rollout. If you’re happy with the result, you can use the Body Objects button in the
Create panel to convert the resulting object into a Body Object.
The Body Cutter works like the ProCutter tool and lets you cut away part of an overlapping volume. This
begins by selecting an object; it doesn’t need to be a Body Object. Then click the Body Cutter button in the
Create panel. This creates a Body Cutter object and presents several rollouts of options. The Body Cutter
object is a cutter, and you can choose the Pick Stocks button in the Body Cutter Parameters rollout to select
the base object. You also can choose additional cutter objects with the Pick Cutters button.
Once cut, you can select which portion to display with the Cutting Options. The options include Stock
Outside Cutters, Stock Inside Cutters, and Cutter Outside Stocks. Figure 28.4 shows a cylinder cut from a
cube object.
