Help booleans model keeps dissapearing?

[tonyhaer]

I have an xbox i'm modeliing and i've already done about 10 boolean difference commands on different sections. But now it won't let me do anymore boolean commands on it, the model just dissapears i've tried just using a simple primitive to cut out of it and changed the order in which i select them but nothing works everytime it just dissapears. I thought it might be the history so deleted that but still it kept dissapearing.
Can anybody suggest why this is happening or suggest a workaround?

Detach a face and attach rest to the face. This should renumber the object so it works better. However boolenas produce surfaces that may not be booleanable in future as it has a tendency to create very long thing faces taht are hard to detect.

can it be any face?

[joojaa]

yes

That's right. I make sure to have the edges in the model lined up to the second objekt for a boolean
command.
If you don't you won't get equal sided faces, wether quads or traingles. That's what i think makes a
second or third boolean command impossible and let the objekt dissapear.

Well polygon modelling + boolean is a sure way to get huge problems with normal interpolation

That's what i think makes a second or third boolean command impossible

Thats easy to refute. Its very thin nonlamina fases that gets maya. But maya survives it if the order is right. Assuming the mesh is booleanable in forst place at the local atea.

Still to this day NOBODYS sent me a mesh that wasn't deliberately broken (which can be fixed) that wouldnt boolean. But I know  poly booleand fail in one specific circumatnce that allmost never ever comes into play.

Anyway im accepthing candidates for the first ever unbooleanable suface. Like i said there is one case thet should be valid but for some reason is not but its so obsucre that ive yet to observe on in the wild.

Offcourse lamina faces and nonmanifold surfaes dont count because they constitute a impossible surface that dont obey laws of reality, and booleans cant hack unreal surfaces for obvious reasons.
