This works in RayDream and I assume it does in Carrara as well. Before doing a boolean on a spline object, make sure surface fidelity is set as high as possible and then either convert to a mesh form object again with maximum fidelity with the Edit in another modeler option OR export to a DXF and re-import. I've had success with each technique in increasing the resolution before the boolean execution.
