Booleans are temperamental. Some times even perfect geometry will error. It's just the luck of the draw. One thing to always check, is the normal direction. Booleans are very picky about them.

Also, if the selected boolean operation doesn't work, try the other two. Sometimes they give unpredictable results.

The quickest way usually is to just use the split poly tool, and extrude the polys afterwards. Doing this will also always give you better geometry than booleans, which will always create n-sided polys.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
