Missing option in 2024 Boolean mod?

Hello,

 

according to the 3ds max help page there should be a checkbox "Preserve Normal Data" in the new Boolean modifier in 3ds max 2024. It would allow for preserving explicit normals from the operands. It doesn't show up, even if operands with explicit normals are used. Is this a future option?

I'm confirming it's missing for me too. Good catch. Report it if you can. I'm not sure where 'Bug Reports' get taken these days but a Forum search should tell you where to post it.

Thanks for reporting the issue @andro43bg, I've brought the issue to the team in charge of it, no need to report it. It is because of a last minute change that didn't get it's documentation update, sorry for the confusion.
