Slicing
Hello, there!
I have made up a tube (not bad, eh?) and I want to slice it with a rectangle (created as such, that is as a surface) using the boolean "Knife" operation. I get a formal protest from AC3D, which says that for such an operation the second object (i.e. the rectangle) should not have "open edges". What is an open edge, by the way? I have tried optimizing the vertices on the rectangle, without result. Can you help? Thanks, Thierry |

Re: Slicing
Dennis old knife plugin is less fussy about "open edges", I still use it a lot :
