- I tried using vtkBooleanOprationPolydataFilter, but the effect was not good.
- Is there any other way to use it?

vtkBooleanOprationPolydataFilter does not work reliably. You may give a try to this other VTK Boolean operation filter: [Adding Roemer's Boolean Filter as a Remote Module](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/adding-roemers-boolean-filter-as-a-remote-module/1635)

This works really well。
