This plugin can be used to perform Boolean operations on meshes (also called CSG = ''Constructive Solid Geometry'').

It is based on the [https://libigl.github.io/ libigl] library.

Its usage is pretty straightforward:
* select two meshes (''meshes should be ideally closed, otherwise the output might be wrong'')
* click on the plugin icon (or the equivalent entry in the 'Plugins' menu: 'Plugins > Mesh Boolean Operations')
* when the plugin dialog appears (see above):
** assign each mesh to a role (A or B)
** then select the operation to apply:
*** union: A + B
*** difference (symmetric or not): A - B
*** intersection: A n B

The plugin will create a new mesh corresponding to the operation output:

This plugin is very similar to the [[Cork (plugin) | Cork]] plugin. It is however slower but supposedly more robust.
