ProBoolean question

Chicken Dip

Why does ProBoolean leave those vertecies all over the place after useing ProBoolean? Was it bad programming? or are they actually meant to be there? also is there a way to use ProBoolean without it leaving all those annoying vertecies all over the show?

Maybe you have decimation set to zero?

You can remove them by adding an Edit Poly modifier, and clicking on Remove Isolated Vertices.

Hey Eric, thanks for the reply but Remove isolated Vertices does not seem to work for me any other ideas? thanks

They are meant to be there. They appear wherever the cut crosses a triangle edge, even non-visible edges.

There are scripts out there that help clean up these types of verts.

There are probably more but that should get you started...
