Ok, Help! 2004-07-03 - By David Wilson

I found Solidify, but it didn't do what I needed. (It will however, come in
handy later.)
It's a curious problem, maybe I should try to describe it some.
Basically, I was trying to build an ice tea glass as a prop for Poser. I
took a basic cylinder, stretched it out a little, copied it, scaled the copy
down just a little and Boolean subtracted it from the first cylinder,
leaving behind a big hole. After some cosmetic alterations to make it more
drinking-glass like, (which don't seem to affect the end result in creating
this problem) I try to export it using the luuv plugin so I can have an OBJ
file for my trouble. The plugin tells me that there are holes in the model,
do I want to proceed? The thing is I can't /see/ any holes, at least nothing
I can so identify. Saving anyway and importing it to Poser, my drinking
glass is there, but for some reason the open end isn't open anymore, it has
a face stretched across it. Importing it back into trueSpace yields the same
result. The COB file doesn't look out of the ordinary at all.
No matter how many times I follow this procedure, I get the same result.
Obviously, something is happening that I can't recognize, although I haven't
exhausted all my efforts in trying to find the problem yet. I had hoped by
finding the "Fix Holes" plugin I think I remember I could resolve this
faster, but it looks like I'm going to have to keep going down this path.
Did I describe this well enough? I can take some screen shots if it'll
help...
