"Hi Barry- if you find cases you think should work, please send them to me or to tech@mcneel.com for a look. Ryan's example shows the intersector in V5 is not correctly handling the coincident cylindrical faces, and there is now a good chance we…"

"I find the same with your file. By amending the pieces which I did purely by moving faces so as to create an intersection between pieces, all unioned as expected."

"Hi Ryan.
I am experiencing this issue at the moment.
When objects are to be joined, it fails when they are touching or flush.
If I revise so the objects actually intersect, all works as expected.
I am still going through scenarios, but it is…"

Boolean Fail
On multiple occasions I've had boolean operations fail in Rhino5 that I was able to complete successfully when I move the file into Rhino4. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this a known problem? Is there a solution on the user end? I've uploaded a file with this issue, if anyone is interested in having a look.Cheers,RyanSee More
