PropertyManager Combiner
In the Combine PropertyManager , you specify the bodies that you want to add, subtract, or overlap in a multi-body part.
To open this PropertyManager :
In a multi-body part, click Combine (Functions toolbar) or click Insert > Functions > Combine .
You can only combine bodies contained in a multi-body file. You can't combine two separate pieces. However, you can create a multibody part by using the Insert Part option to place one part in the other part file. You can then apply the Combine option on the multibody part.
Type of operation
| Add | Combines the volumes of all selected bodies to create a single body. |
| Subtraction | Removes overlapping material from the selected main body. |
| Combine | Removes all material except the overlapping material. |

as said you need 2 bodies
The combined subtract function
you select the room(s) to keep
you select the body to combine and subtract
thus
and you end up with that he once select the bodies to keep
if you look at the number of bodies has changed 175 to the liau of 2
magic
