subtract_volumes

Connect.subtract_volumes(part_id, target_volumes, cutter_volumes, params)

Subtract cutter volumes from target volumes. Volumes should be computed prior to calling this function. If multiple parts are being merged to form a single part, then volumes should be computed for each part prior to merging. Use compute_closed_volumes to do so. Volumes involved in this operation should not have self intersections. You can use SearchZoneletsBySelfIntersections to check self intersections in the volume.

• Parameters:

  part_id : Id of part containing target and cutter volumes for subtract operation.

  target_volumes : Ids of target volumes.

  cutter_volumes : Ids of cutter volumes.

  params : Parameters to control subtraction of volumes.

• Returns:

  SubtractVolumesResults : Returns the SubtractVolumesResults.

• Return type:

  SubtractVolumesResults
