  15. I regularly have problems with my boolean operators in modeler.
  16.  
  17. It seems no matter how carefully I build two objects, when the time comes
  18. to subtract or multiply them, the results that I get are less than
  19. desireable.
  20.  
  21. When subtracting a cylender from another solid, for example, I sometimes
  22. get 90% of the cylnder subtracted with parts of the original cylender
  23. sticking out of my should-have-been-cored object.
  24.  
  25. Other times whole sections of polygons adjacent to the affected area just
  26. disappear.
  27.  
  28. I've tried tripling, subdividing, moving a fraction of a millimeter.
  29.  
  30. Are these modeler tools just not that good, or is there something that I
  31. am missing?
  32.
