One thing that is incredibly tedious with Rhino is to boolean unify a lot of objects. In my case, I somethimes need to create a single polygon of a model of jewelry for 3D printing a mock-up. Sometimes I want to unify the gems of a pave, the prongs, really hundreds of polysurfaces. I usually have …

ABSOLUTELY! Is there some reason why it’s a big deal to do this? Perhaps the failed objects could emerge selected, or at least color highlighted.

Hello - the Boolean* mechanism does not really support that - it does not test every intersecting pair. If you go after it in stages though, you can generally get the working parts unioned and locate the problem areas. -Pascal

Yes I imagine that your current implementation of boolean union does not test every intersecting pair, my point is that I would love it if it did ( and apparently I’m not alone, see @AlW comment ). I don’t know how your boolean union is coded, but I’m pretty sure that if it can know that the whole o…

dear @felix.mariotto your approach can be implemented by a simple script - some kind of “stepwise” boolean-union, that tests first for intersection and then tries to boolean union - if it is a professional context send me a private message. … are you on mac or windows ? Another option might be to…

Hi Felix - [image] felix.mariotto: […] I’m pretty sure that if it can know that the whole operation failed, then it can be a recursive function that repeat itself for every pair to unify. I’ve thrown this feature request on the list as RH-61699 . I would say that this sounds like a new comman…
