Boolean Question

Hi Everyone.

 

I've always struggled using booleans.  They rarely work right for me.  I'm obviously doing something wrong.  So I've been spending time working with simple shapes, figuring out how to properly boolean.

 

I'm stumped on many boolean issues.  Here is one I'm hoping to find a solution for.

 

I have some very simple rectangular cubes.  Think of this thing as the side of an egg crate.  I'm trying to boolean all these shapes into 1 object.  Almost all of it booleans fine except for the top horizontal cube.

 

•All history has been deleted.

•It doesn't matter if I grab every shape at once and boolean or grab items one at at time and boolean, I get the same result.

•I've snapped to grid all the vertices.  They are super clean and aligned onto a grid.  All faces are flush.

 

See attached illustration for a visual explanation of my issue.

 

Thanks everyone!

Hi!

 

Computers are inaccurate.

 

Just select the original transform nodes of your objects (after doing the boolean) and move them slightly in the direction of your problematic faces until the problem is gone.
