How to self boolean instances

[something]

I’m making a procedural flower in geo nodes and the petals are intersecting with themself, how can I union boolean instances after instances on points?

Place a “realize instances” node after the instance on points node, and a mesh boolean node following it. Check self on the mesh boolean node.

You’d need to look in wireframe or x-ray mode to see a difference.

If booleans work as expected, they shouldn’t make a visual difference. Perhaps this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for. Can you please elaborate on the issue?

I’m trying to get that result:

Booleans only work on objects with thickness- flat planes like yours can’t be Booleaned
