Parasolid Boolean Subtraction Failure

Post by Donald Thomson »

I'm trying to add a couple of raised panel doors to a cabinet and keep getting a dialog saying:

Failed Door creation

parasolid boolean subtraction failure while coping door bottom rail

This sure seems like one of those error messages that should be reworded for non-programmers (i.e. cabinet makers). It should also give hints as to what to do to solve the problem. :wall:

Donald,

You might list what door it was and the steps you used to create the error.
Did you try a different door or is it doing this with all doors?
I am sure that error message is for the benefit of the programmers not the user.

Kerry,

I'm working with tech support on this issue. It might go deeper in that the default image for my doors in this particular job are changing without my changing them. When I try to change the image back to what I want I get the meaningless error dialog. I'll let you know what I find out.

Donald,
I have had nearly ALL my image patterns change on me without changing them. Even after regen's they appear incorrect. I reported this a while back but I think it was pretty low on the list at the time....

Please post a cabinet and list some steps. Not sure exactly what you are talking about.

Rick,

I'm working with James on this issue right now. I've sent him a couple of cabinets this is happening to along with steps.
