cannot do boolean operation on two bodies

Post by thomasfischer25 »

Hi,

I created a box but it was too big, so my Idea was to get rid of a couple of mm in the middle of the box.

For that I created a top part and a bottom part of my box. Then I cut a couple of mm from each copy and moved the top part via transformation on top of the bottom part.

Afterwards I wanted to do a boolean operation to combine both parts again to one box into the Body "finalCombinedBox"

But whenever I use the operation the result is an empty screen.

Attached you will find the Project.

I'm using Version 0.19

Thank you!

I'm not seeing how you made the original box. Did you delete something before attaching?

I suggest that you go and do some tutorials, your file is a complete mess and does not make any sense whatsoever.

Why do you have so many bodies? how can one have a body that contains nothing but a pocket?

A box without a lid should contain only one body, assuming it is not made from separate parts like a wooden crate for example.

Try to examine the included file.
