CSG Combine

Note: Subtract operations aren't commutative: the second object is subtracted from the first.

csg_combine(object1, object2, operation = "union", radius = 0.5)

Arguments

object1	First CSG object
object2	Second CSG object
operation	Default `union`. Can be `union`, `subtract`, `intersection`, `blend`, `subtractblend`, or `mix`.
radius	Default `0.5`. Blending radius.

Value

List describing the combined csg object in the scene.
