Default Boolean Problems!!!

Hello,

Well, this is a bit pants... I'm pretty much finished with my vape model, as far as the mesh goes, all I need to do is make the air vent inlets and the drip hole. Thing is, this is happening! PLEASE HELP! I've been awake almost constantly since starting this project at around five-ish yesterday afternoon (only had an hour, couldn't sleep past that) and now it's looking like it is all ruined!

It's messing up with the vent holes too but in a different way, removing bits of the mesh which are nowhere near the boolean object. I've always struggled with the boolean feature.

Booleans are not neat unless the source objects adhere to very strict 3D rules (closed, normals facing out etc).


send me the file and I'll take a look.
