Does that go for Boolean Diff as well Michael ?

Hi Pilou,

> Yes but when there are some many group of objects?

It is meant to sort a large group of objects - it will fix up the situation where you have one single large "main" object and you are trying to union a bunch of smaller ones on to it.

It does not fix every situation, but it should make the most common one (large + many small) work much better.

No - since boolean difference has you pick the "base object" as a separate stage it doesn't really run into this same problem.

Have you run into similar situations where boolean difference is not working with a large batch and it does work doing things in smaller groups? If so I could use an example of that, I don't think that is as common as with Union.

Well, I did, but trying to reproduce it come out with positive results, funny that, it was when I was modelling the knurl on that thumb screw that I have a close up of in this thread, but I can't remember which version of MoI I did it in, was there any changes to the Booleans between the betas ? It was when doing the the crossing booleans that were intersecting the previous boolean that it failed, but then tried 3 or 4 at a time then it would work, it must of been just that situation, maybe it was a full moon that night ;) , so for now don't worry, I'll let you know when it happens again.

Cheers

There was for the Aug-4 one, but not for the last Sep-21 one.

I'm not surprised that different arrangements or sequences of that kind of "crossing at crown point" situation would get different results, but that is a different problem than the union one that I was talking about.

I had a couple of examples of Union failing with batches even when there was not any additional difficult intersection situations like that, this new tuneup for Union helps to reduce that. It won't do anything to fix the difficult intersection type situations.

Of course it is nice to have progress of any sort! :)
