Keep input entities

When enabled, retain the original selected objects as well as the operation result.

Location

Geometry workspace → Intersection → Keep input entities

Initial value: false.

When enabled, retain the original selected objects as well as the operation result. When disabled, replace the selected inputs with the result. Retained overlapping solids can require different material or mesh selections; inspect them before solving.

Using the value

Select the earlier inputs, set this control and choose Build All Geometry. Recheck downstream selections after the operation.

Troubleshooting

Inspect selected objects, overlap and retained inputs. For a rejected transform order, apply Scale before Rotate where appropriate instead of assuming every operation order is supported.
