[Cartoondog] Union boolean operation
A week ago I only could dream about me was modeling a dog, now i'm actually doing it --> thanks to Kurt!! :p
But, now im stuck in videotut3, having a problem with the Onion boolean operation tool... When Kurt clicks on Onion the wireframe becomes lightgreen and all the isoparms connect each other. When I click on Union only the cursor changes... the 2 polys (neck and head are still 2 parts and not 1..
I've checked some threads to solve my problem:
Changed Merge Vertex distance to 4.000
Done it with clicking ENTER, without...
nothing helped...
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks in advance

First off make sure the object is a polygone and that the edges are turly intersecting through each other. If its still not working go to Edit Polygons> normals and select> conform >then set to face then try again..
If that dont work either post up the MB file and I'll take a look, booleans are very feniky some times.
