  • Split Polygon Tool trouble

    When I made a boolean cut into the side of my car and tried to repair the geometry with the split polygon tool, it wouldn't work. It would let me make a cut but as soon as I pressed enter to exit the tool, my cut disappeared.:confused:

      When you do Boolean (which is almost always a bad idea - especially to something like a car) several things happen:

      a) you end up with Boolean nodes that are always in the way
      b) you surrender all control over the polygon topology

      If you MUST use a Boolean (again usually bad), make sure you delete your history for the object. Then you'll have the raw geometry to access.

        Ok fixed it, sphere modelling and boolean cuts on cars are bad!
