Hi All,
I imported an stl file and ran MeshToNURB on the object. I have been trying to replace one section of the design but can’t seem to get a boolean difference to work. The boolean difference works on one section of the part but not on the other. I have included the sample file to show the issue.
BooleanFail.3dm (8.6 MB)
To replicate,
On the Top view select the large object and boolean difference with the cylinder on the left, result Boolean Failed.
Try again with the cylinder on the right in the top view and the boolean difference works. It would be great to get some information as to why a boolean operation would fail…
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Michael
