This used to be the go to place for all things Bryce.  Not too much nowadays, but I'll ask this here anyways.

I imported an .obj from sculptris and was going to boolean a portion of it to slice a flat spot on it.  The imported object is being rendered as a hollow shell and not a solid similar to terrains that have not been made solid and you try to do a boolean operation on it.  

Is there a trick anyone knows to correct this?  I wanted to transfer the material of the negative object to form a flat spot on the larger object but all I get is a view of the interior imported object.  

I experimented further.  The same thing happens if you convert a boolean group to a single mesh.  

I'll get back to you on this...y got me curious

Be sure that;

• Select the imported mesh.
• Click the "E" box to Edit the mesh.
• Be sure "Solid When Boolean Rendering" is checked.

If it is still hollow when rendering, it is usually(?) the settings used in the program that had exported the mesh (sculptris , zbrush, etc)
I'm not familiar with sculptris.

I just imported an .obj dodecahedron and cut it's top off with a Bryce cube. The thing to remember is the object you are altering has to be Positive in the attributes and the Cutter object(my cube) must be negative

Tks, AS.  I will try that tomorrow.  I smoothed the import in "edit mesh" but may have overlooked the check box.  Yessir, Bobbly, I knew that about attributes.  Sculptris is a simplified ( free?) zbrush type modeler.

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...

Follow up.  Checking "boolean as solid" in edit mesh box did the trick.  Agent Smith has forgotten more about Bryce than I will ever be able to learn.

Heeeey AS that was my solution as well but ya beat me to it :-P

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!
