Editing solids: Boolean intersection

- [Instructor] Rhino for Mac has a great set of commands called Boolean operations, which can do things like merge objects together, cut into objects, or find object intersections. And well, some Boolean commands can work with curves or open surfaces. The one we'll look at in this video is specific to solids, and that tends to be where I find Boolean operations to be the most useful is working with solids. So I've got the extra size file solids-boolean.3dm open. Here, we've got two sets of solids, if I look in the layers panel so I can see set one is an array of solid hexagonal prism shapes, and set two is a box like structure with a free-form surface on the top and that's also solid. So we're going to take a look at the Boolean Intersection command, and this command takes two sets of intersecting solid shapes and preserves the overlap, deleting everything else. If we think about that with these shapes, this should give us…
