Subracting with a self-intersecting body
Subracting with a self-intersecting body
(OP)
I am trying to subract a body that is swept around a helix that self-intersects after one turn from another body. The location where self intersection occurs does not subtract properly and leaves some additional face geometry after subtraction. Is there some way to create the subraction and avoid the faces being left over where the intersection occurs?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

With a little bit of fudging I ended up with the attached (NX6 file).
