Hi Michael,

Thank you for you answer

I export the 3 solids and attached them to this message.
Anyway you already have explained to me why this may happen, which was what I wanted to know, not to solve this particular situation.
If you can easily see what is the problem in this solids, I will appreciate it, but please don't spend a lot of time in this, it don't worse it.

Thanks you very much and good luck with V4

Hi eugenio,

Well that's a funny one, because I can't find any naked edge after the boolean etiher.

I don`t have an explanation, but a quick fix is to separate and rejoin every surfaces, you should get a solid after that.

Hi PaQ,

Thank you for you answer.
The next time something like this will happen I will separate and rejoin the surfaces maybe is the solution...

Hi Eugenio thanks for posting the file. So I couldn't see anything wrong with your model so I took it into Rhino to check it in there too and then I was able to see the problem is with this particular edge here:



Some other underneath views of it:





So it's something like this where there are 4 surfaces all touching along that one single edge:



So that's what's called a "non-manifold" edge, and it can cause complications for determining the proper inside and outside of a solid volume. It's kind of like a zone of zero wall thickness and if something tries to intersect that edge it won't be clear to it which side it's happening on. It's similar to the problems caused if a surface intersects itself, in this case it's like the "skin" of the solid is intersecting itself.

That looks like the only spot with that problem.

Hi Michael

Thanks for using your time to find the problem.
This kind of edges sometimes appears to me after some working with a solid (extrusion of faces, booleans...)
In any case, is not critic, I only wanted to know if I was doing things in a wrong way.
