Thanks!

I am actually only using Nef as input to convex decomposition. I assume it only supports Nef?

Note that there is an alternative package to perform Boolean operations
(with some restrictions on the kind of input/output handled) available
in the Polygon mesh processing package:

https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Polygon_mesh_processing/#title13

Those restriction enables this package to have better runtimes than
Nef.

Best regards,

Sebastien.
