Hey Kyle, I have a strange thing happening with the boolian operation. If you remember the talk we had about the little critter I was building. I took your advice and built it in three meshes, thinking I would just frankenstein everything together later. I am at the point where I have two left, the body and the head. The head was two parts, but I didn't booly them together, I attached then welded vertices. What's happening now is, the program just crashes during the partitioning faces operation. I did a test earlier, knowing that the two parts together would be over the 64K limit of faces. What I got then was "Not enough RAM for that operation". Surprising, I didn't think it would work, but I wasn't expecting that error. I have 128 megs of RAM. Anyway, I put him back on the treadmill and scrubbed off a few pounds. Now the two meshes have face counts of 63432 (the body) and 2329, 65761 total. I know this is slightly over the limit, but should be well within the limit "after" the boolian. I've tried it with "weld elements" on, and off. Same result. The screen just turns light blue all over, with different colored side borders. Any thoughts on whether this is a face count problem, or have I broken my "glitch free" running time string? Thanks, Terry
