Purpose
To switch the left/right orientation of the CSG tree construction functions.
Usage
First use the selection functions of the view tree to locate the part of the tree you wish to switch. Next, click the switch button to activate it. The following prompt will appear in the status area:
select a node to switch
Click the required tree node to switch its construction order.
Comments
This function will switch the order of any construction operation such as: group, union, subtract, intersect, and overlay. For example, if you subtracted ball A from cube B, then switching the node, cube B would be subtracted from ball A. This function is especially useful with glass objects constructed with overlay. Be careful! Switching the wrong node can completely alter a construction. An incorrect switch can be corrected by immediately switching again to restore the previous construction.
