..whats this irritating line? I tried one back in Vue 4 and got the same thing.Everything is intersecting properly and n the right order for the boole to take effect.Is there some "secret" hidden setting i am missing?

Did you try turning the inside cave boolean to a fully transparent element?

This is an old cave I was working on sometime ago with 7 interior booleans.

That is puzzling. The only other time that happened to me when I was working on a cave was when I used two layers for the outside cave and they were mismatched. I am stumped.

Did you try baking the resulting object to polygons? I already had several render problems with boolean operations and generally the baking operation solves it.

Now I am stumped,no Rutra,I have never baked anything in 3D,only a few pies,and my self on ocassion:P

LOL :-)
Right click on the group that constitutes the boolean object and chose "bake to polygons". Try a medium rez at first and, if it's too low, undo, increase it and bake again.

Make a copy first of the boolean objects. Baking can't be undone!

Sorry, but at least in V6I, it can. I do it all the time.

DARN I got Esprit, can't bake anything.

Sorry, meant that you can't split it back into the orginal objects if you decide later you wanted to move something. Always keep a copy of the original boolean objects until you are done with the project. I save them as a vob.

It’s a very odd (and old) problem with Boolean objects, which cause render artifacts. :crying:
