3d Max Boolean cut problem question

I've tried the above facility and it's great for cutting holes in shapes. However, the cuts cause minor 'blemishes' in the cut shape, which are picked up by doing the STLCheck. I have not found any reference to repairing these blemishes. Can anyone please help?

Its just a side effect from using Boolean sadly. Best way to make holes is to model them, and not cut them :/

Much the same thing happens in 3D Canvas when using boolean operations. Applying the Crease operation in 3DC helps a bit, but I do not know if there is a similar operation in 3D Max.

Sad isn't it, because boolean cuts are so very useful. The fact it doesn't work properly - why aren't I surprised.

Thank you for the responses. Meanwhile, back to the :drinking:
