Am I the only person whose Boolean Difference doesn't work properly anymore (leaving rubbish) in Vue Pro's latest release?

Are you talking about boolean operations between primitives ? or between 3D meshes imported into Vue ? While boolean differences between primitives work just fine for me, I always had issues with using 3D meshes, especially when trying to cut holes in a 3D mesh using a Vue primitive. I am not sure it ever worked (at least since the firs trelease of Vue 4).

"trying to cut holes in a 3D mesh using a Vue primitive" That's it. It always used to work for me in Vue normal as far as I can remember since Vue 3. This is the first time I try it in Pro and it doesn't work - but I have not tried it with earlier Pro releases. It leaves in a section of the cut object where it used to end (before the boolean)

You're right Orio, it seems that if you do a boolean difference with an imported object there are some artefact. If you bake to polygons your boolean it correct the problem... Generally it is better to modify the object in a modeler directly, but it depends what you want to do. Hope it helps. Anty

I seem to recall a recent thread bout this. Apparently, it's got something to do with making boolean ops with objects that don't really have a volume.

I spent some time playing with boolean operations in Vue Pro (latest version). Here is an example of the results : Picture on the left is the starting 3D mesh. Picture in the middle is a plain boolean difference between that mesh and a cylinder. As Orio mentionned, this operation creates artifacts. Picture on the right is the same difference after 'baking to polygon'. As Antycon said, doing this works well and creates a good result for the boolean operation. I also tried to do that on a more complex Poser image but baking to polygon stopped after a few hours with an 'out of memory' message. Conclusion: Bake to polygon seems to be resolving the problem of artifacts but the operation quickly becomes too complex to handle.

It is also worth noting that this is not a new issue with a recent upgrade to Vue Pro. Here is an example of the same operation on Vue 4.2. The results are the same... except that 'bake to polygons' is not available for Vue 4.
