[vtkusers] Any experience with other libraries just for boolean operation?

[Majid Mohammad sadeghi]

I built VTK Master today and tested the vtkLoopBooleanPolyDataFilter, it worked better for basic geometries and extruded objects, but takes the same amount of time to process for complex polydatas and also does not keep the normal data array.

A different boolean operation method was recently merged into VTK
master. Please see
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkLoopBooleanPolyDataFilter.html

It would be great to get some feedback from you on whether this
version works better.

Thanks,
Cory
