This property indicates to 3Delight for Softimage that the model it's applied on should be used in a Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) operation. Unlike other properties, it is not inherited by default.
The CSG properties

Constructive Solid Geometry, as its name implies, is meant to be used only with solid primitives, ie: closed shapes. Using CSG with non-closed polygon meshes, non-closed NURBS surfaces or curves will yield strange results. |
Only one parameter is available in this property:
...
The order of Constructive Solid Geometry operations is dependent on the object hierarchy: the operations are performed from the leaves towards the scene's root (bottom-up). At each level of the scene's hierarchy, the CSG operations specified by all models at this level are performed on their parent in the order these models appear in the Explorer, when the General Sort option is set to None (Creation). (This order can be changed using the Reorder Tool.) Changing the order of CSG operations can have a big impact on the resulting solid if more than one type of operations is used.
