Boolean problem

Sorry Michael, one more.
I send you a model where two boolean operations can't be done. I can't execute boolean-union for the lower cylinder and I get strange results with the left one.
Maybe you can trace the problem. If it helps, I've changed the grid units, maybe it has something to do with that.

This one looks like a different problem than the other ones, it is not fixed by the tune up that is coming for the next beta. I will probably have to send this example over to the people who make my geometry library to get this fixed, so that will probably be a while.

In the meantime, a workaround for this type of shape is to trim the curves with each other to produce the final outline, then extrude that into a solid with one extrude.

Thanks for the workaround, it was simply a "get used to MOI" exercise so don't worry, there is no problem for me. I am glad to find things like that to help you out with these bugs.

Why you don't up load directly here?
Rapidshare is a little complex to use for beginners :)

Hi Manitwo thanks, I'm glad that you like MoI!

> hardly to believe it is for free

I just want to make sure you know that only the beta is free - once the beta period is over the actual released product won't be free.

Thanks for putting up that boolean bug example file. This boolean bug is fixed by some boolean tune-ups that are coming for the next beta, which will be pretty soon. There is still one quirk with it though, (a mesh display problem) I will see if I can fix that up as well.

Thank you!

- Michael

I've fixed the display problem as well now, so this boolean is all working for the next beta.

It looks like the new tune-ups in the next beta will help with booleans quite a lot.
