Hi Pilou,

I am doing something wrong.

I drew a plane.

I drew another plane at right angles to the first.

I clicked Boolean Intersect.

Nothing happened - no solid appeared where the two planes would intersect, if projected.

What have I overlooked?

Thanks.

Frederick

Hi Frederick,

Try drawing a rectangle curve instead of a plane surface.

Planar curves are automatically extruded into solids with booleans, planar surfaces like you constructed are not.

Hi Michael,

Pilou referenced "planes" and I took that literally.

It works just fine now.

I had no idea MoI could do that - it could be wonderfully useful.

Thanks.

Frederick

HI Pilou,

Michael got me sorted out.

I was using planes, not planar curves, as you were using.

All is good.

Frederick
