I have a problem with "slice". I'm trying to make the hole as the letter "u" in a tab can, so first I made the mold (U shape) with forms editor. But when I try to slice the tab, a message which says: "error 2 splitting faces" appears. Could you tell me how to solve this problem?. Thanks.

I've noticed that sometimes the slice function has problems with perfectly coplanar faces within the objects slicing each other. One of the things you might try is selecting one of your obects, rotating it, say, .1 degrees in each axis (use the transformation requester) and then re-trying your slice. This little bit of rotation often solves slicing problems for me, and it's virtually invisible in the final product.
