Hello!

Is it possible to boolean a curve with a grid?

What would the end result be? Maybe you can post an image explaining what you need.

Sure! In this image for example I would like to figure out how to split the line in two at the line/grid intersection point.



I guess I could use the Carve SOP for that, but I'm aiming at perhaps doing a bit more complex boolean operations, such as slicing out a cake piece like this for example.

You can, but in a round about way.

Here is an example, but your better off doing it like you say with a carve sop or polycut sop.

I would personally, just because I'm more use to it, do it with a vex wrangle.

That's an interesting way to do it Baba. However I figure you'd might have to do some kind of sorting of the points to make the add node work in all cases?

I've never actually used the polycut sop before, I'm gonna take a look at that.
