>>attach, then boolean… PMJI, but one major thing to remember with booleans in 3DS is that you often cannot complete a boolean in an area where two (or more) elements overlap on one of the objects. In this case, it is usually possible to detach the two elements, boolean UNION them together, then retry the failed boolean operation. I agree with the difference you noted between 3DS and Autocad booleans. I think the difference is that 3DS is working with a multitude of individual faces, while Autocad is working with mathematical descriptions of the component primitives. JKJ
