Yeh, Artur is right, that's what  I meant in the other thread when I said:
"but if worse come to worse you can try eliminating the extra bits by enclosing them in a primitive object and doing a bollean subtract, or enclosing the bit you want to keep in a primitive object and doing a boolean intersection."
Funnily enough, after saying I dont remember it happening to me I had something weird occurring with a boolean subtraction. I subtracted a modeled object (Hexagon) from a water plane. It 'ate' some extra bits of the sea, so I had some holes where there wernt supposed to be any. I was just going to hide them with other things, but the holes went away when i made some modifications to the object (including higher resolution). So I'm not sure if it was a hexagon problem or a vue problem.
