For which apologies in advance!

I can load and view the example .off files into the polyhedron demo. How
do I actually apply the Boolean operations to objects? I’d naively
assumed that if I loaded pipe and cube, selected both and then chose
Booleans ops >> difference I’d get a new object which was exactly that …

If I convert both to NEF polyhedrons first the demo prompts with ‘You
need to call the operation “Convert to nef polyhedron” in the menu
&Boolean operations’ … the console shows this:

Convert polyhedron to nef polyhedron...ok (340 ms)

Convert polyhedron to nef polyhedron...ok (491 ms)

Convert polyhedron to nef polyhedron...ok (19 ms)

Convert polyhedron to nef polyhedron...ok (341 ms)

Any ideas?

TIA.

The conversion to nef polyhedra creates new items that you need to select by clicking in the A/B column. The boolean operation will be done
using A and B.
