I am trying to Boolean Union 2 rails that are swept into the same ending shapes, however it is not working. To my understanding, this is because the objects are the same exact size and overlap perfectly. I have also attempted difference to the same issue. I have also flipped the objects before capping them and redoing the rails with different seam points. To fix this and to this in the future, how would I do this? Attached will be a screenshot, please let me know if the file would help as well.
Upload a .3dm file with the geometry. You can upload the file by clicking on the vertical arrow icon above where you type a post, or by dragging the file to where you type a post.

Thank you, Here is the file
Try to unlearn booleans, there’s a reason for the “boo” in boolean. Simply use Rhino’s regular NURBS surface, fillet surface, and trim tools.

Thank you, I cannot open the file however because I have rhino 7. I will be taking a look asap
Best way to avoid problems with booleans is to not use them.
I trimmed the Y with a line and then joined the result and then trim and joined that to the top ring.

Thank you! I was attempting to trim but before it was not working for some reason. I’ve got it now. the directions were spot on. I guess I was too caught in my ways!
