Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Booleans Don't work... please help!!

I'm trying to make a brake caliper and i want to cut out a small place for the disk, but when i click the boolean, it disappears. I tired everything, but the object looks perfect.:headbang:

If someone could help that would be much appreciated! :attn:

Hey,

With your polygon selected ("pasted_polysurface1") go to Polygons---> Cleanup Options. Reset settings. Now check "Nonmanifold Geometry", and then press Cleanup. Try your boolean operations now. That should work.

Cheers

Eduardo

Running into the same problem where it disappears, and the cleanup does not work either.

check your normals, if they're not pointing the same direction, the booleans will fail.
