Hi there,
I'm trying to make a mold out of a step file of a PCB. Each component is being interpreted as a body, with even the individual legs of the integrated circuits being recognized as bodies. By making a cube that overlaps the PCB, selecting every body in that PCB and doing Combine -> Cut it gives the following error:
Error: There was a problem combining geometry together.
If attempting a Join/Cut/Intersect, try to ensure that the bodies have a clear overlap (problems can occur where faces and edges are nearly coincident).
Failed to Boolean bodies together
How can I fix this issue?
