I am in the middle of creating a new starship and using the boolean function is causing some problems. Basicially I have an extruded disk in the background and whenever I use it in SUBTRACT mode parts of the background object appear on the foreground object. Both objects are single sided polygons and both are 3D objects. This problem seems to plauge me whenever I am dealing with a complex foreground object (sometimes even not so complex). The points in all objects are merged, polys are unified. Are there any SECRET Tips on how to get the Boolean functions to cooperate? Thanks in advance. Anthony E.T.
