I’m having some issues getting boolean modifiers to work on a set of objects.
Firstly, here’s my blend file: http://www.pasteall.org/blend/30552
I imported a map object from a game and placed spheres in locations around the map. What I’m trying to do is get an object representing the parts of the map that are not contained in any of the spheres.
I figured a boolean difference between the map object and the sphere objects would be exactly what I wanted, but the result of the difference was this
and the result of a union was this
I then added a second boolean modifier for another sphere, but the second modifier gave a “Cannot execute boolean operation” error.
So, I tried joining all the spheres together and using a single boolean difference, but I got the same error. I then tried a boolean difference between the spheres and a large cube with the goal of intersecting the result with the map object. I was able to subtract the spheres from the cube, but got the same error when trying to intersect the cube and the map object.
Here’s the cube with the spheres subtracted, and the visible parts of the map geometry are what I want to “get rid of”:
Is there some crucial step I’m missing in order to accomplish this, or is there another way to approach this?
Thanks!
