• Associative placement (boolean_associative_placement)—Updates the boolean feature according to the placement of the modifying component.
• Transfer References(boolean_transfer_refs)—Transfers all references from the modifying components to the resulting boolean feature.
• Discard modifying components (boolean_discard_modifying)—Deletes the modifying components after a boolean operation.
• Copy Datum planes (boolean_copy_datums)—Copies datum planes from the modifying component to the modified model as part of the boolean operation.
• Copy Quilts (boolean_copy_quilts)—Copies quilts from the modifying component to the modified model as part of the boolean operation.
