Mesh disappears after boolean

Anonymous — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 10:01:04 GMT

Hey guys,

I have some difficulties with the Moolean tool. Whenever I try to cut the window into the wall with any Boolean, both meshes just disappear?

I thought it may be because they have no width, but it vanished either way. Can someone help me?

Hi!

Without the Maya scene-file it's impossible to tell what's the problem here.

But these are some things you can check:

- Move on of the objects slightly

- Make sure one or better both objects have a depth / volume.

Yes of course, apologies!

Here you go!

Hi!

The plane "polySurface254" is not really a plane, it's made of individual cubes.

Click or double-click on a face and move it and you see the problem

Make sure to use one clean mesh.
