Create complex geometry by subtracting geometry from an overlapping (target)
part.
After a subtract operation is performed, the target part is indicated by the icon in the model tree.
Figure 1. The indicating the target part in the subtract operation.
Note: Regions are taken into account during the subtract operation:
Subtracting a shell structure (a free space region that implies an empty /
hollow closed structure) generates new regions, faces or edges on
intersecting geometry. No geometry is removed.
Subtracting a solid structure (a region that is not set to free space)
results in geometry being removed from any intersecting parts.
