Thats pretty much it luucky - the point moved to for a surface is not the actual projected interception of the 'subject' surface onto the 'target' surface if that makes any sense....the good thing is, is that its another tool in the 'ol box....

coldby - yeah, sometimes you get sensible answers and sometimes you don't....sometimes it spits back errors related to the fact that the operation only works with solids (when I mainly use extruded surfaces) which is my main problem. I have to say that I avoid boolean operations whereever possible, as the answer they produce really don't make much sense and require allot of cleaning up, so I try to design around that particular limitation. Bit of a let down in what is an otherwise brilliant program.

Cheers
