Hi Steve, it may take me a while to get to the bottom of why your original fleur had that damaged area in it.

In the meantime, try the attached updated version.

For this version I mirrored over the fleur from the other side and trimmed it into place, also deleting a couple of those little tiny micro shelf areas as well, and this version looks like it should now boolean union ok.

Thanks Michael


I went back to my original template, luckily, I had all the solids used to make the fleur saved has separated objects, after playing around with it a bit, I found the micro shelf areas are formed when I boolean Union them together. If I deleted the micro surfaces, it would not join back into a solid, left me with some edges that did not match up, since I was not sure how to fix this, I just cut away the edges and made some patches, then it would reform into a solid. I hope no one will notice a .03mm patch :) I think I will just replace it if the one you created. I'm sure it will cause me less pain, long term :)

P.S, I've just had my first piece cast in Sterling Silver. nothing fancy, but it's something my wife wanted. is there a live post, where users post photos of real world object created from MoI designs?

Sounds great, I'd love to see it!

If you'd like you can post it as a gallery item on the MoI gallery here:

Or you can also just post it here in the forum, either as an attachment on this thread or you can start a new discussion thread for it if you want.
