When performing Boolean operations, what should you always pick?

When performing Boolean operations in Siemens NX, the focus should be on selecting the same target body throughout the process. This is important because the target body is the primary shape that will undergo modification as a result of the Boolean operation.

Using the same target body ensures consistency in the operation, whether it be a union, intersection, or difference. Each operation fundamentally alters the geometry of the target body based on the characteristics of the tool body or bodies being applied. By selecting the same target body, you allow for precise control and predictable results in how the final model is shaped.

This practice is vital for maintaining the integrity of the design and ensuring that subsequent modifications integrate seamlessly with existing geometry. While there are instances where different target bodies may be used, understanding the foundational role of a consistent target body remains crucial for effective Boolean operations.
