When performing a Boolean operation such as Unite, which body retains all the object attributes such as material properties, color, and layer?

In Boolean operations like Unite, the Target Body is the one that retains all the object attributes, including material properties, color, and layer. This is because the Target Body is designated as the primary object that the tool body will modify. During the operation, the attributes of the Target Body are preserved, while the characteristics of the Tool Body are typically not carried over.

This is particularly important in design workflows, as it ensures that the finished part maintains the desired properties of the original Target Body, which is often the main component in a design scenario. Understanding which body retains its attributes is crucial for effective design management and ensuring that the final model reflects the proper specifications and appearances needed for the project.

The roles of other bodies in the operation, while important in the context of modifying geometry, do not involve retaining the attributes in the same way the Target Body does.
