Hi Michael,
I never tried booleaning in the VM because I always had a difficult
time getting it to work. But it is good to see that someone uses it
and I'll check out this method the next time I need to do a boolean
fuction in CS.
BTW, did you know that CS had a Replicate tool in the VM? It may help
out with the duplication process, depending on what you are doing.
Well, thanks for the tip. :)
Cheers.
