RegionDifference for Cylinder and Cuboid












5












$begingroup$


I wish to use RegionDifference to take a cube shape out of a cylinder. First I make the cylinder and cube and combine them in RegionUnion.



reg1 = Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 0.5];

reg2 = Cuboid[{5, 0, 0}, {10, 1, 1}];

Region[RegionUnion[reg1, reg2], Axes -> True]


Mathematica graphics



So this looks good so far. Now I wish to take the cuboid out of the cylinder leaving a notch in the cylinder. I try 



reg = RegionDifference[reg1, reg2];

Region[reg, Axes -> True, PlotRange -> All]


Mathematica graphics



My cylinder is chopped off short and given a bad end (away from the subtraction). Is there a workaround?



Version 11.3 for windows.

    Wow, that's really weird. Please contact support. Honestly, I am quite disappointed with the almost nonexistent usability of the BooleanRegion facilities.

Please note the RegionBounds:



reg1 = Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 0.5];

reg2 = Cuboid[{5, 0, 0}, {10, 1, 1}];

reg = RegionDifference[reg1, reg2];



bounds = RegionBounds@reg;

Region[reg, Axes -> True, PlotRange -> bounds]

This seems to be a viable workaround although it is a shame that we have to discretize the cylinder that early.



reg1 = BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 0.5], MaxCellMeasure -> 0.001];

reg2 = BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[Cuboid[{5, 0, 0}, {10, 1, 1}]];

reg = RegionDifference[reg1, reg2]


enter image description here



As a rule of thumb, I would strongly discourage applying boolean operations to graphics primitives and everything else which is neither a MeshRegion nor a BoundaryMeshRegion.
