I had it for ages, only used it once before...

...and I kinda know why: it's hands down, the most annoying modeling program I have ever set my hands on

Anyhoo, I made all the glass pieces for the canopy, but for some reason, it won't boolean subtract...

...any ideas guys?





They're obviously intersecting...

So there is pertty much nothing I can do?

Frankly, at the moment, I don't care about the extra verticies, I just want it to stop not working...

(I still don't see how can anyone make a complete aircarft in this thing without going completely insane...)

hey storm..

i use FSDS and i HATE the boolean opeartion soooo much!!!!it doesnt work, it only ruins the model
sooooo what do i do? ehehehe simple, pretend you're cutting a gear bay. you make a cilinder and shape it around your bay hole, then delete the polygons around the area on the wing, and join the two parts. once thats done pick every 3 points and hit Alt+P and then P (i think) and voila!! you got yourself a new poly! its tedious but beats the boolean tool nine ways a sunday.

im sorry im not bein too descriptive about it now but im not at my dorm, so i dont have acces to FSDS so i could show you with screenies and such. if you're intrested i think David Eckerett has a tutorial on how to do it, or shoot me an email and i can pull somethin together.

Inspector Poly could also help youu verdad Felix?

hope this helps
