Boolean operation with poser model

Anonymous
Not applicable
Any suggestion, how to get poser model (hand) work in boolean operation?
Model itself imported fine to AC and it looks ok, but when I try to cut a part of the wall with it, nothing happens.
Or any idea or another way to make hands' mark in concrete (by modelling it)?

I confirm that a poser/3ds/Archicad object won't do an SEO on a wall.

The Alfaville figures do an SEO and have reasonable hands.

This is a commercial object.... Objects Online, perhaps?

If the poser model is made with the COONS command, which they
often are, then they are a hollow surface and cannot participate
in a SEO. You will have to model your hand with solid elements.

Did you try opening the script and adding

MODEL SOLID

At the beginning of the script?

Just a shot in the dark ...

I couldn't get the model filled (putting that SOLID MODEL to the script). I guess you meant that same with your friend's portrait, Dwight

What program makes solid models? AC does (or does it?), but it's not useful in making body parts...

I could get a sort of cut with "cutting with roofs" and rendered the inner side of hand, but there are some problems making the surrounding material and also texture is a bit complicated on hand's surface....maybe it's better to make the whole thing in photoshop.

It looks like only certain parts of the Alfaville figures can do SEO.

I'm not a GDL specialist, but maybe there is a way to save your model (or just part of it) as a window and change the code to make it a niche?

Just a thought.
