Yup, thanks for sending it - that one was a particular arrangement with 2 identically shaped sweeps angled and touching at a single crown point.

There's definitely a problem in that particular sweep case.

It sounded like you were possibly having problems with sweeps more generally than that specific case? If so then I would definitely be interested to know more about the other cases.

Like for example if sweeping was causing a lot of problems in totally different cases, it could indicate some problem with the sweep instead of a problem in booleans. So it can help me to know whether a problem is more general or more specific to one geometric arrangement.


re: Geometry library update - Just from my initial pass over the geometry library update, there seemed to be a lot of action in stuff related to filleting, so it is probably good to hold off on stuff in that area to see what those updates do for that.

But I did not see much with booleans specifically, so if you run into more problems with those, please go ahead and send those on over to me now. It would not be surprising to me that problems in that area are not corrected in this initial update and may require me to submit bug reports for them to get corrected.
