Help- Zbrush Live Boolean

Live Boolean > Make Boolean Mesh > Appending does not create a combined mesh. It does seem to replicate which ever mesh I had selected when I ran the Make Boolean Mesh though. Anyone else running into this?

 Hi Katy...It looks like you're using 2019, yes? (I see that lovely "New Folder" button ) I don't know if the "Make Boolean Mesh" is deprecated in 2019, but I've been using folders to do my boolean operations and it works like a charm. Plus it spits out the new object as a sub-tool of the current tool (instead of creating a new tool of the boolean operation. Here's a link to the video the guys did that shows folder boolean operations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgQ3uAQ8U6c&t=5421s Hope that helps!

Hi instag8tr,

Thanks so much for the reply. I gave the folder process a shot, but am still missing some key step to producing that good combined mesh.

Hi Katy,

So once you get to the step you're at above, click on the folder settings (the gear icon next to the eye) and you'll see a drop-down menu with many folder options. Choose the "Boolean Folder" option and it will kick out your combined mesh as a sub-tool. I think that will be what you're looking for!
