Booleans (Union)
Hello,
I know I posted in the other topic, but I decided that it would probably be best to create my own topic. I am using Lynda's tutorials, and am at the robot modeling section. Basically, a curve is used to revolve into a surface (the body). A loft between two curves is used to create a rectangle-shaped surface. This is placed in the body where the mouth needs to go (before this you also create the eyes). You are supposed to go to Edit NURBs -> Booleans -> Union Tool, select the body, hit enter, select the mouth, and hit enter. However, I get an error when I do that. I have tried re-creating the lofted box and doing the boolean at least 10 times (not exaggerated), but I just can't get it to work! This what is shown in the script editor (relevant to this issue): Quote:
I really want to move on, so I would appreciate a timely response. Thank you! :) |

(Remember we are trying to perform a Boolean Union between the body -- egg shape -- and the mouth -- the little rectangle.) |
Just a little update....
Note that even if I turn the "hierarchy selection" option off for the Union tool, it still returns an error (hence only the body would be selected, not everything in the group): Quote:

You need to use a "closed" surface, in your case a 6 sidebox vice the 4-side shape you're trying to use now.

PS: I did not create a full box because in the tutorials he just created the 4-sides and it worked. Strange...might be a version difference though. |
