Intersect Solids

Use the Boolean: Intersect tool to retain only the intersecting portions of two sets of solids.

When you select the Boolean: Intersect tool, a guide bar appears that allows you to select two sets of entities. The first set of entities selected are called targets, and the second set of entities are called tools. In order to produce a meaningful result, the two sets of entities must intersect.

Restriction: This tool supports 2D and 3D element intersections. 1D elements are not supported.
