Boolean union in mirror modeler About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

Boolean union in mirror modeler // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by master_rigel2 // Feb 10, 2009, 4:32pm master_rigel2 Total Posts: 34 I have a person model using the mirror modeler in the Workspace I modeled a hand object I loaded the hand object, and mirrored it as well. I positioned the two hands, to connect to the two arms. I went to use the boolean union, and it flattened my construction history (I lost the mirror modeler, on both objects) Is Truespace supposed to do this? Rigel Post by W!ZARD // Feb 10, 2009, 7:55pm W!ZARD Total Posts: 2603 IIRC you can only use the Mirror Modeller on one selected object at a time so to do what you are attempting will require that you do it all in the right order. I usually work on only half the model while building the geometry (including boolean operations) then, once the geometry is close to what I want I mirror it with the mirror tool and then do any final point editing. Post by TomG // Feb 11, 2009, 2:13am TomG Total Posts: 3397 Yes, it will lose the active mirror modeling if you do something like boolean, resulting in a flattened history. Easy enough to fix though - do NOT mirror the hand. Deactivate mirror modeling for the body. Boolean the one hand to the one half of the body. Activate mirror modeling now, and presto, the hand is mirrored too onto the new half of the body. So simply turning off mirror modeler for both parts, then re-enable it after the boolean is complete. HTH! Tom
