Hi, I’m still new with Blender.
Here’s a pretty simple question…
I’d like to model a tin can with a large hole on one side.
when I try to use booleans with two cylinders, for some reason, the hole goes right through the other side. anybody have any idea why i can’t just cut a hole out of one side? or would I be better off trying to build “around” the hole?
What do you experts usually do when you want to cut a hole out of something?
thanks
I herm wrote a tut on the last CJ on booleans ( https://blenderartists.org/specials.php?id=10&page=6 ) with clear (?) explanations on weird results.
You most brobably are not using Closed bodies, or if they are, their normals are unconsistent (select all nodes in editmode and CTRL+N)
Would you mind if I move this post in the correct forum ?

oops… heh heh… i guess i’m a newbie at posting, too. yeah, go right ahead.
Did you put the cylinder all the way through the other? If you did yea you’re going to get two holes. Move the cylinder so that one end is in the can and the other is out, then try it
No, the second cylinder only goes through one wall. However, they both started out as circles extruded, so they were open. Thanks S68.
