Subtract in place help?

[cclark440]

I have been trying to figure out the subtracting. I figured out how to create a new mesh , ( the large green cylinder), that has the subtracted portion of two other meshes but, I can't figure out how to just subtract part 2 ( the small green cylinder) from part 1, ( the large white cylinder) in place.

Is it possible to create the subtracting geometry without ever rendering it? I have spent a s fair amount of time trying to figure this out on my own. I just haven't found an example that seems to be what I need or, I am looking in the wrong places?

As usual any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't do it in place but you can do it on mesh with setEnabled set to false

var subCSG = CSGStem.subtract(wHole);

var mesh = subCSG.toMesh("csg",myMaterial,scene);

// this is the geometry, but it's a private property, so not supported. 

var geometry = mesh._geometry;

// you can apply this geometry to other meshes:

geometry.applyToMesh(otherMesh);

 

edit: adam has correctly pointed out we should be using the geometry property (without underscore)!

use geometry without an underscore:
