problems with 'subtract' function
problems with 'subtract' function
(OP)
I am trying to subtract the volume of an upper jaw from an extruded block. However whenever I try this, the finished block just has an outline drawing of the extracted shape but it hasn't physically removed this volume from the block (pictured attached).
I have tried using the subtract function on simpler examples such subtracting a sphere from a cube and this works fine. Do my problems come from the point cloud from the upper jaw drawing or am I missing something?

The difference is mainly that a solid body is considered having a volume which a sheet body hasn't. )
If one subtracts a sheet body from a solid body, it will act as a "splitting knife" but it will not remove any volume.
