Boolean TQ mystery
 

Hi guys,

I use the boolean tool quite a bit now BUT I have found it to be very sensitive to certain parameters of which I have Googled lots and learnt a bit.

I have attached the link to my vid, I am confused as to why a boolean will work without weird things on a split face but not a single face??? Any answers would be appreciated.

cheers bullet

Hi Bullet
I think you should have pressed enter when you finished your first cut then restarted the tool on your next cut?...........dave

you should NEVER do a boolean difference on a face. Always do it on an edge. When you cut a hole in that top face, there were no edges to anchor the hole so the geo is messed up. First put an edge across that top face, then do a boolean. You should be fine then.

Good luck m8

That didnt work Dave.

Yeh Perfecto I found that out by accident. If you put a poly (anywhere) on the face and boolean on top of it the thing works. So what I do now is just that and BEFORE I delete the temp poly I then split all I need then get rid of the temp one. Software has a way of making life interesting!!!
