Feature Requests / Re: Nested Boolean Grouping Manager

« Last post by lpkia2026 on September 25, 2026, 01:42:09 am »

1. IStonia, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm very glad to communicate with you again ^_^
2. "Nested Boolean" is about lists calling and using each other.
3. For example: during the first Boolean operation, it needs to calculate all the faces of the source sphere. Let's say it has 5 million faces—pretty scary, right? So it will be very laggy.
4. During the second Boolean operation, it only calculates the small local region left after the result of the first Boolean, so the Boolean response speed will be super fast.
5. Below are the screenshots and annotations I provided.
6. Please take a look at them in order.
7. That's the core of it.

Feature Requests / Nested Boolean Grouping Manager

« Last post by lpkia2026 on September 12, 2026, 02:34:32 pm »

Nested Boolean Grouping Manager
Its defining feature is "nesting." It nests Boolean results in the form of a list, enabling "local" Boolean results. It also offers an ultra-fast response time of 1–2 seconds, along with free switching between real-time and manual modes.

I know you will definitely ask me why I developed this.
Because Nvil's Boolean_Stack feature is too basic and too limited, and I have personally tested modo's "pp_MOP_Booleans" plugin and Blender's "bool_tool" plugin. The result in both cases is a very painful and frustrating experience: once the model's polygon count is too high, even a slight change in position forces you to wait 5–8 seconds for the Boolean result to be recalculated, and more often than not you need to wait even longer. But I just want to drag things left and right to adjust the model's position. I just want to see the result at different positions because of the uncertainty in the design process, yet this slight adjustment of vertices, before I have even adjusted them to the ideal position, starts making me wait several seconds, which completely ruins my mood.

Development origin
I developed it in the Python bundled with Rhino 7, and throughout the whole process I told my ideas to "DeepSeek AI."

Why not continue developing in Rhino Python?
Many functions for polygon operations are not available in Rhino itself, and personally I like using Nvil, because it has been with me throughout my long-term work. After using the built-in Boolean_Stack, I found it unsatisfactory. I hope my "Nested Boolean Grouping Manager" will help it grow and bring it a major upgrade. I personally think this is feasible, and I am very much looking forward to it...

Alright, below is the Python source code and video demonstration I am sharing. I am giving them to you, and I hope they are helpful to Nvil. May Nvil keep getting better. And to you, programmer, I hope you have a pleasant day today.
