Example:
Suppose we have the following open cone and box in the geometry:
command> cone
Select center [x y z]: 0 0 0
Bottom radius [double]: 2
Height [double]: 3
Top radius [double]: 1
command> box
First corner of base [x y z]: -2 -1 0
Base size [width depth]: 6 2
Height [double]: 4
command>
command> booleanOutside
Select the surfaces of the 'objectA' on screen (Press enter when done) (Select the cone)
Select the surfaces of the 'objectB' on screen (Press enter when done) (Select the box)
Please Wait...
command>
As usual, if the cone and the box had the names "myCone" and "myBox" respectively, the command could also be run in the following way:
command> booleanOutside -s -objectA myCone -objectB myBoxPlease Wait...command>
The final result is shown in the following figure:
