GDL subtrat help

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Jun 2005 18:41:08 GMT

I use proflier to build that blue curve wall, and make slab GDL file to insert into the project. I tried to use that GDL to cut a hold on profiler wall. The problem is after I use "Edit Targets & object" to subtrat the proflier will disappear. Do I make any mistakes? What should I do to make that proflier cut a curve hole?

use 'profiler' to create BOTH the wall and the subtracting element

create both elements using a FILL, not lines

should work

Thank you! I don't know why I make my work harder. It works. and it's much faster.

Bill,
Could you explain why Ashley's method fails
and why your method works.
I would be very interested to know.
Thank you,
Peter Devlin

boolean operations don't like (zero thickness) surfaces. and gdl objects are often flakey in booleans, at best
