Where can I find specific documentation about the "#" operator that will show negative objects or object in a "difference()" operation as red shaded? Can this be programmatically turned on - i.e. something like: #(booleanShowNegativeObject)renderAnObject() or (booleanShowNegativeObject)?"#":" ")renderAnObject() I'm guessing I could do this easily done with PySCAD.. Which I have started learning yet. Thanks, Jim
