Hi Micheal,

>>if boolean union gives you a problem you should be able to use Edit/Separate to break parts into their surfaces

For a simple object as being put forward, then yes, but as at the time of my first report on this, the main problem came from the overlapping swept solids, I posted a very simple example to show you, and your reply was:-

>>The problem is with the surface/surface intersection part of the boolean,

so the first problem can be to actually get a segment with correct surface boolean, of course it can depend on the complexity.

Also:-

Surface booleans on a sphere may not be symmetrical, so splitting is not always an option.

Not all surface booleans are actually from a sphere.
