I’m trying to boolean difference this design. Most parts booleaned OK, but these two give weird results even though "check object lists them as valid. I know most problems are from poor geometry, but what do you do when Rhino says the geometry is fine?

Hello - So far it looks like these work but make a object that does not display correctly, I’ll poke at it and see if I can see what goes wrong.

@CalypsoArt - it is probably from some messiness in the design curve- there are several places where there are points crowded very near a hard corner, and some cases this makes a self-intersection - very tiny but there:
I’d clean all the hard corners up -
you can find the messy ones with curvature graph set to a low scale.
IntersectSelf does not find the ones that actually self-intersect - probably because the loops are so tiny, but I’ll ask the developer. These will mess up the display mesh on the object.

Thanks pascal. The curves started out as a .eps from an illustrator using Illustrator. I did a lot of cleanup beforehand. I though if a curve would extrude that it was good an moved on to the next. I guess that’s not always the case.
I’m not familiar with the “curvature graph”. Where is that?
or use the curvaturegraph command
