Hi all,
I am trying to make the switch over to Blender 2.8 so I am doing some small projects to get started.
I have attached a few images to illustrate my issue I am having with the boolean modifier.
In the first image you can see the shape that I want to make, its pretty simple just a tunnel. I created a cylinder and I just want to boolean out a rectangle to. When I go through the process it doesnt seem to cut out the bottom of the cylinder.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Alex
.Hi,
It seems like something is happening if you look at the last picture. Can you share the blend file or post a screen shot of the boolean modifier?
That’s the oddest thing. I ended up just recreating a cylinder that was kind of like yours and the Boolean worked there. I think that if you were to start over with your cylinder and recreate it, it would probably work for you too. Here’s a test blend.

@alexworx it’s totaly normal, your cylinder is not closed …
As the select non manifold function does select these vertices :
Just use the Merge by Distance function (equivalent to Remove Doubles in 2.79)
And here you go :

Ahhh yes, as @tricotou mentions, I didn’t check the geometry of the mesh but yes there is geometry issues with it so that needs to be fixed for the boolean to work properly.
Thank you guys! This is great. I will remake this and fix my errors.
appreciate the time and the info.

Hi guys,
I never actually got my current cylinder to work, I did try the merge by distance function. I am sure its a user error.
I just remade the cylinder and it worked great.
Thank again
