Serious roof problem!!!!

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:33:08 GMT

I am fixing someone elses bad design and wrong measurements and making the 3D model...but the roof is causing problems,
the roof is a curving sloping roof with 5 different roofs involved that all intersect, so when i make two roofs i can normally just make one the operator and the other the target and with a downward extrusion the excess from the two curving roofs will disappear....but not now, when i make the roofs i do this process once and the first operator will remove the lower excess, but when i make the other roof the operator the program freezes up and i have to end the program.....why WHY WWHHHYYYY does this happen and how do i stop it!!!! I need this roof really bad and it not working is like Kobe being found guilty...it would be devastating!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

the attachement is a rendering of the roof im working with(trying to remove the excess that shouldnt be there)

mate, you have picked up the worst combination in AC. Vaulted roofs and Boolean operations (aka SEO). Any result is unpredictable as both tools are obsolete (roofs) and crapy (SEO). If you are using lib parts for roofs - it depends on the way how they were programmed which virtually means an unpredictable result.

I know, I'm not helping you but I can understand your shear horror - I've been there...very close to bashing the keyboard over my monitor...thanks god that someone has called the ambulance...
