Hi I am trying to Boolean Union this diamond shape in between these 4 corners and it gives me this warning sign and they are not joined and instead it creates a group with warning signs. What do I do?
Hello - if you select the dots and look in Properties at the secondary text, it will give you a hint as to what has gone wrong.

what do you mean look in properties?
Hello- select the dot, and while it is selected look at the object properties in the properties panel - the dot properties should show some ‘secondary text’ which is very brief information about the failure.
-Pascal
In the corner of your Layers or Layout panel, click the gear and Properties to open the Properties Panel.
Then select one of the ! Dots and look at the Properties panel.
Ok I found it and it says “Intersection curve ends at a naked edge” I will send you my intersection so I can figure out how to join them stay tuned
Ok so the diamond shape is trying to go between the round corners of the 4 squares to seal the gap. If you can see the gap on the left; I sealed the same size gap on the right. I created the diamond shape by tracing out the gap and then extruding that shape to make the diamond shape. Do you have any suggestions to make the diamond shape better so that boolean union can be used to join together the 4 corners of the square with the diamond filler?
Hi @Lukas_Cassle
Your “pillow”-shapes have no cap on the back, so you are trying to BooleanUnion an open geometry and a closed geometry right at the naked edge - that’s not possible. Even if your “pillow”-shapes were closed, you are still trying to BooleanUnion them right where the edges meet, creating a non-manifold edge, which isn’t possible (at least not until you understand why and how) in Rhino. You need to either a) just use the top surface of the diamond shape and use Join to attach it to the “bubbles” or b) add some thickness to the backside of the “bubbles” and then cap that back - and then you can use BooleanUnion.
