Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 24587
OOo should support substracting and intersecting 3d objects
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:47 UTC
As things stand, OOo does not support substracting or intersecting 3D objects. This makes doing anything requiring not totaly straightforward manipulation of solid objects unbearably hard or even impossible. Hence a request for enhancement - OOo should support substracting and inetrsecting not just 2D but also 3D objects.
Changing issue type to enhancement. Reassigned to Bettina.
I think this goes far beyond the scope of this sofware. I don't think the 3D objects are "real" 3D - they are simple vector objects (with rudimentary editing capabilities) which mimicks the 3D objects. Interpreting complex 3D boolean objects with this technique is quite impossible. CMIIW. Fixing this issue would need the implementation of 3D axises (for correct alignment of objects), different views etc. Basically all UI elements you have in full fledged 3D softwares. You can see why I think this is impossible (and even undesirable). P5 (or Invalid) would be appropriate to this as there is many much more important features to implement. Furthermore, I think this is a feature, not enchancement.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
