Hey Guys can i get a bit of help

[Garoc]

hey problem is explained in the image (i hope)

i can't see anything to comment on, try posting a larger image and let us know what you think is wrong,
i can see you are using max but thats all. i only have a small monitor and i hate squinting.

well the maroone box i try to subtract from the larger box. and its SUPPOSED To make a box in the main mesh so in the perspective window i can move the camera inside and see a hollowed out box. but it wont do it!!!! it just dissapears and doesnt make the box inside the solid shape

[andoy]

I still can't see your problem, have you done any previous boolean operations on this object ??
i understand what outcome you are after but it's hard to help with only the bare facts you've told about.
have you got the operands correct.. like A-B or B-A or whatever ??

Kinda hard to tell what ur problem is from the pictures, but i think Andoy is on to something. If u have done multible boolean operations on the same object, errors can appear. If im understanding your pictures right, u are trying to use boxes to "dig" out the windows of a building?
If that is what u are trying u should attatch all the small boxes togheter to make them 1 object. Then use this 1 object for the negative boolean operand.

make sure you are subtracting the correct operand from each other.. if you selected the main mess as operand b then it should be subtract a from b or if the main mess is a it should be subtract b from a .... hope this helps

ok i have done all that i do have previous oprands i have a large box hollowed out down the bottom along with a long one down the middle (to represent a lobby area) and a window. even after ive checked the subtraction A-B (A: box that i want a bit taken out of it and B: being the bit i want taken out of A) and it still just leaves a blank space, or if its in the surface of the main box you can see through the hole in the side to the Grey background :???: :mad: :mad:

Right click on one of the viewport names, choose configure, check the box that says Force 2 sided.
