Hello all, I'm having trouble cutting the bools out for the Pips. I've joined three bools to cut out, but the result is odd. The middle one seems to be doing its job but the outer ones are not, as you can see from the pic. Any ideas what the issue may be? Thanks.
Hi Dodge ,
Check the Normals.
Slightly moving the Cutter along the Y-Axis might also help.
Maybe you need to change the Solver Method (or Options) in the Modifier.
Could be something else, hard to tell with Booleans.
Thanks guys. I’ve tried everything but no joy. I even started again from scratch. Then tried again from scratch on my work computer. Perhaps I have a setting wrong or something. Could it be the version? I have 4.3 at home and 4.4 at work. I’ll keep plugging away at it from all angles and see.
This is as close as I can get for the bool to work and leave a dimple. Any further
into the cube won’t cut it (pun intended). Unfortunately, at that distance it leaves a sharp edge. Using other objects, cubes and spheres, for cutters on the cube works, so it must be the dimple cutter. I’ve tried it with and without the bevel modifier applied.
Nearly scratched my head down to the bone but I got there in the end. A few different issues but basically I had different bools Displaying As Bounds, Wire and Solid. Add in what was hidden and what was not and there you are, a bit of a tangle. Still here it is at last!
