Hi Kai and Howard, >> 1. Bmesh is leaving free edges in non-manifold results (well visible in orange in the lower right), those should be removed after operation.
It is out of scope of a boolean tool, it should not try to fix geometry, it's just should perform a boolean operation. Incorrect input should result in incorrect output. If FM result geometry must not contain loose edges, than it should do a post process (check for loose edges) after boolean operation finished. >> 2. Bmesh is not face normals aware. I'm not sure if this is good or bad thing in a higher sense, but I know that this is limiting factor for some users (see inverted normals variants which would flip results in Carve). And I think this is actually more robust than Carve, if user chose boolean difference, no matter the normals direction, unlike Carve, BMesh solver will give boolean difference result. >> 3. As a result of 2. Bmesh can produce meshes with inconsistent normals as it keeps the original normals of the operator object but ignores them for the actual boolean operation (row 3 and 6). Again it is not the point of boolean tool, if FM needs correct normals for every result (even with incorrect input) then it should do a pre/post process on input/output geometry. Please do not try to make boolean tool more than it supposed to be. -- Mikhail Rachinskiy _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
