Boolean question (I think)

:?: When I try to perform a boolean funtion to make a hole in a printed circuit board by subtracting a cylinder from a rectangle, it works but the rectangle gets subdivided into a bunch of odd sized and shaped triangular surfaces. I have tried to combine these to make one surface and it keeps telling me that they are not adjacent surfaces, what am I doing wrong? While I'm at it - thanks for the great tutorial on POV Ray Woody ( finally READ it instead of just looking at it). :wink:
