  • Plugging away at Bevel-as-a-geometry-node code. Maybe 20% done now. The manifold library seems to have landed as a dependency, so should be able to submit the new boolean solver based on it to main in the next day or two.

Do you believe the bevel node will be included in the 4.5.0 release?

I am trying for that but it is a lot of work and I may not make it in time.

Hi, I downloaded the last built to try out the solver but didn’t find it

The pull request did not land yet. #136902: Modeling: Add a new boolean solver based the the Manifold library.

The new boolean manifold solver is now in the nightly build.

This is great, it works really well.

The sculpt mode team needs a poke about this, still not enable in sculpt mode, it would work great with the voxel remesh workflow that only works with manifolds meshses too and usually requires precise fast booleans to add or substract or split parts of models.

Nice, what an awesome achievement! In my first tests I had a problem with the object(s) changing position compared to the float and exact versions. The same geometry (bascially 2 cubes) worked fine in Geometry Nodes though.

I have no time to build a repro scene right now, but might do so later today.

I was about to report a bug about it but it was already reported.

The position bug in the modifier has already been reported and will be fixed soon. Sorry about that.

No need to excuse! I’m super grateful for your work! :innocent:

Let’s stop discussing the Manifold boolean on meeting notes. I’ll create a feedback thread; please add any further discussion there.
