cloner and boole

Hello,
I need help because boole arent’t working with my cloner and I don’t know what to do.

I want to create a box with holes. I create the shape of my holes with a cylinder and put it in a cloner.
But when I put the box, then the cloner into the bool, nothing happens.

It is A minus B.
So Box minus Cloner, I don’t know why it’s not working.

Can you help me ?

Hi p.aubry,

Please share an example file. Images do not tell a lot, and I can barely read the object manager entries. I can’t even see how many segments that cube has.

Move the box a little bit. Is that helping?

It works here as expected:

If you need an upload link, please check your Private Messages here on Cineversity. I have sent you a link.

When you create this with one cube, the application needs to do so much more work than Boole one object and then clone it.

I would set it up this way, faster and cleaner.

All the best

Thanks for your answer !

But it’s not really what I want to do :/
It’s the opposite of your 1st exemple.

You made cloner - objet and I want object - cloner.


What I want is creating a room with pillars.
I want to create a hole for each pillar in the ceilling.

So one cloner for pillar + the same cloner with cylinders to creat holes in the ceilling above each pillar.
But it isn’t working and I don’t understand why :/

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks a lot for help !

Hi p.aubry,

Please have a look at the files:
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/FmwIDVeGunyHLBhl347Yu0J9z71l7WrW41MWUL1iGgB

File 11 is a setup with holes in the ceiling, and the data is used then in Cloner.1 to place the Cylinder on the other clone’s Axis.

File 21 is the way I would do it, avoiding Boole as much as I can.

All the best

Thanks for your help !

File 11 is the same that I setup, but for me it didn’t work..

But I finally find the problem. The cloner for holes was in multi-instance mode, but it works in instance mode.

Thanks for your help and the 2nd method without Boole.

Hi p.aubry,

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, multi Instance will not work!
Well spotted.

All the best
