Hello. I would like to know how to subtract 2 volumes in vrworld. Does a function already exist for this?

Hello. I would like to know how to subtract 2 volumes in vrworld. Does a function already exist for this? For example, I would like to show a cube and the difference between this one and a cylinder placed into it. Thank you.

Finally, I choose the following pragmatic solution. Driving OpenSCAD from MATLAB.

Below are the steps:

1. Open OpenSCAD.
2. In OpenSCAD, open the file 'myfile.scad'.
3. From MATLAB, write the OpenSCAD commands in the file 'myfile.scad' to load two STL files of the objects, position them correctly, and apply the boolean operation.
4. OpenSCAD will automatically detect the file has changed and update its view.
5. From MATLAB, capture a screenshot.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you have enough pictures to create a short movie.
7. Use a MATLAB function to compile the pictures into a small movie.
