Seemingly trivial union problem in Feb 21 beta

Hi Yenmonger, are you set with a solution to this now?

I think that the problem here is that you've found a shape that confuses the automatic inside/outside detection mechanism.

I think it's probably trying to fire a ray though the narrow area near the end of the wedge type shape. Then it's probably getting points that are within tolerance of each other and that's causing difficulty in the analysis.

If you run into this behavior in the future, you can try running the opposite boolean command to see if that will work.


I'll keep this model and take a closer look in v3 to see if the automatic inside/outside detector can be tuned up, but it is a sensitive area used quite frequently so it's probably a bad idea to mess with it right at the end of v2.
