Hello,

Well, it's not a purely question about CGAL, but...

I would like to know the new created faces after a boolean operation
(difference). As I'm developping a machining simulation software.

-> Here two polyhedrons A and B :

As A 'eats' B, I would like to distinguish the affected face as you can see
here, in red :

I firstly though to find the common plane équations of faces  between A and
B, just after the boolean op.

*Is it a good way to do it or do you have another better idea ???
(A and B will have a few hundreds of faces each)*


Thanks for help.

Gilles
