Description
A Combine process carries out a Boolean operation between two or more components' solid bodies (or components within a multi-body part). This mixin contains the Name and the Boolean operation type and produces a solid output. This design can perform 3 functions, kCutOperation, kJoinOperation, kIntersectOperation.

Project Example:
In your kBridge Examples Projects folder open the project called ‘Table_KB_Inventor_Example’.
Expand the CombineParts folder , expand the Models folder, right click ‘CombineParts’ and set as Root.
Reference Location:
"world.combineparts.partsassembly.partsassembly0.combine.combine0"

In the example below, a design has been created named ‘Combine’ and BaseAssembly and InvCombine were mixed in.
invName: "CombinePartsJoin"
invBooleanOperationType: return "kJoinOperation"
InvCombineComponent was dragged into ‘Combine0’ from the InventorUtilities
(See InvCombineComponent for more detail)
‘CombinePartsJoin’ as one solid part
When the project is integrated into Inventor, it shows the ‘CombinePartsJoin’ as one solid part.
Also the drawing views show the combined parts as one part.
Example using kCutOperation
invName: "CombinePartsCut"
invBooleanOperationType: return "kCutOperation"
Example using kIntersectOperation
invName: "CombinePartsIntersect"
invBooleanOperationType: return "kIntersectOperation"
Also the drawing views show the Intersection parts as one part.
