Boolean issue
While creating truncations of solids I encountered this.
All the objects are identical cubes with coincident centers. At each stage a duplicate cube is rotated 45° to one of the axes and intersected with the previous composite object.
The top row shows the objects to be intersected.
The second row shows the result of nested boolean intersections.
The third row shows the result of making the previous boolean editable before applying the next intersection.
Note that in the final intersection of the second and third row an artifact appears.
The final object is the result of increasing the size of the intersecting cube uniformly before applying the boolean. Although this eliminates the artifact if also produces an object with unequal faces.
This looks suspiciously like a rounding error.
