T.J.,

This filter doesn't appear to be in ParaView.  Am I missing something?  Should 
we add it to ParaView?

Hi Jeffrey,

You may want to check out 
vtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter<https://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter.html>.
 It sounds like it may have the functionality you desire.

Sincerely,
T.J.

I have a need to do a Boolean intersection of two unstructured multiblock 
datasets.  It so happens in this case that the underlying element sets are 
polygonal meshes, so in this particular case I could also do what I want with a 
Boolean intersection of two polygonal meshes.  To be (hopefully) redundant, I 
have two meshes which share some points and cells and each of which have other 
points and cells which are not shared.  I would like a new mesh which consists 
of all the points and cells that are in both of these meshes.  I need this to 
work properly in parallel.

I know enough to create a python-based filter (python programmable filter) to 
create this operation, but are there already existing Boolean mesh operations, 
and if not would those be a useful thing to add?
