Bug reports?

Bug reports?

Where should we direct proper bug reports?

For instance, just experimenting with a Boolean, a cube, a ball, and no shaders, I came up with these two images, one with a side not removed by the Boolean and one where the normals decided to reverse.

Is there a particular place I should send these, and do you know about these already?

The ZIP file with both scenes is enclosed.

I placed the ball by inputting numbers on the Properties panel (next to "Position"). I notice it doesn't happen when I mouse it around.

Hi,
that is a numerical problem. To avoid it changing the position of the ball slightly already helps.
Cheetah3D 5.0 will get a completely new booleans algorithm which will be more robust.

Bye,
Martin
 
If you right click the tool bar and choose customize, there are a bug report tool or you can send it to: martin at cheetah3d dot de
 
The current boolean system is prone to errors if there are nearly coplanar faces (extending the planes infinitely) or vertices on one object that are on the plane of another. Spheres have LOTS of faces, so it's easy to bork them.
