3D boolean of two meshes. Don't understand.

[ghost]

Hi,
I would like to understand the library better.
Even after reading 3d boolean
I still cannot get through it.

What if I need a cube cut by a cylinder? So it would result in a cube with two faces having a hole.

How to achieve this basic?
It would be nice to have a high level function for union, difference.. like in blender for example.
Thanks

For most case, using the newer corefinement API is enough and simpler (while being faster and as robust). See https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Polygon_mesh_processing/index.html#Coref_section

Input are triangle meshes. In your case, it would be a call to CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::corefine_and_compute_difference(cube, cylinder, output)

Ah it seems like it. I will do that. Thank you!
