Oh, heck yes. If it was an ongoing/complex model, I would think I would just save various uncollapsed "parts" out to my object library along the way. I actually sorta do that already, I save major sections of a mesh I'm building as a scenefile, so they can all be Merged back later.

I had tried booleaning in Truespace(3.2 & a v6 demo), and it didn't always work with pleasing results (but then again, I make some funky stuff) Apparently as Erlik stated the process of True Booleaning isn't always an easy one for programs.
