Hey Maya Fans if any1 can help it will b many thanx, i've searched the forums and looked through maya help but user added image

i waz jus wondering if some1 could please try this out on their Maya... create a polygon object and then create another then intersect them both, select the object you want the indent in then select the other, then go polygons/booleans/difference.. then do it again with the same object and c if it works... (create another object and intersect it through the one with the hole/watever shape u used 2 intersect)

I'm useing maya 7 and 4 some reason it wont let me do this more than once???? on any object.. when i do it a second time both objects dissapear.. i'm like wtf?

Hi,

Well, although I've never used this function myself before, but I've followed your instructions and had just tested the Booleans function for you Daniel, seems there's nothing wrong with mine... (Am using Maya 7)

You might want to reinstall the Maya if that's possible.
