i was having trouble with boleans (both objects would dissapear)
so i looked around and found out that i should clear the objects history, but i want to know how to view the objects history
The object history is in the channel box on the right, to clear the history you select the object then look under edit for delete by type and choose history.
Usual boolean process :
- you selected both your primitives
- called the bool operation
- saw the result but no more primitives
About history >> if you just can't see any of the 2 primitives or meshes used for booleans (in your viewport it's normal, but I meant > even in the hypergraph or outliner <), check, as usual, if the "Construction History Button" is ON.
If you still can see the originals in the hypergraph or outliner, then you just can select any of the primitives and change attributes as described before, within the right pane "Channel Box / Layer Editor". Boolean will be affected too.
!!! as soon as you "delete history", both your primitives are thrown to bucket !!!
About definitely keeping original objects now, select them both, go to Edit/Duplicate (option box), reset settings, apply. Put then the copies within (e.g.) another layer and even template them if they're kinda important basis.
Then, simply execute the boolean you want without anymore thinking about the primitives.
Boolean operations can play around at times, one if the most common causes is that the two object are not intersecting 100% so you might want the check this .
