ProBuilder Boolean Error

ChaosResolution · January 21, 2019, 5:55pm

I understand that it’s experimental, but the boolean tool is giving me the following error each time I try to use it:

Using version 4.0.2 and Unity 2018.3.0f2. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Hi there! Can you give me exact steps to replicate? That’s a big help. ie, at what stage of the process does it bug out? Thanks!

As soon as I press the Apply button! Tools → ProBuilder → Experimental → Boolean Tool. I’ve added a Cube and a Cylinder, performing a Subtraction operation.

Strangely, a team member (we use Collab) tested it and is not getting the error!

In case it’s also useful, here’s the full error:

Hi! That’s strange indeed- I’ll ping @kaarrrllll for a more technical look

Was there ever a solution to this?

I did eventually get rid of it, but by accident. When 4.0.2 came out it had some issues so I downgraded back to 3.0.9, and suddenly it worked. Incidentally, I recently tried 4.0.3 and encountered a different problem, so now I’m back to 3.0.9 again!

@gabrielw_unity 4.0.3 still has this issue. Is it going to be fixed any time soon? Works perfectly fine in 3.0.9 but fails in 4+

Yeah, I’m getting the issue again now with 4.0.3.

Tested using a fresh project in Unity 2018.3.4f1 in ProBuilder 4.0.3

This still isn’t fixed as of 4.5.0 ProBuilder with Unity version 2020.2.4f1 It seems to randomly crash in certain scenarios. Guess I’m going back to Blender for now.

I’m not sure if this is related or not but Unity 2021.1.3f1 completely crashes on me when I attempt to use the Boolean tool:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFE31A6A3BC (mono-2.0-bdwgc.dll) in Unity.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x000000F95B800DB8. occurred

It does this for both subtraction and intersection. Kind of a bummer because I’m trying to prototype something, but without this tool I will have to spend a bunch of time exporting Asset Store assets from Unity and into Maya to modify them, then import them back in to replace the existing objects.

You’re really using v4? v5 and the boolean tool does sort of work as long as you save everything first in case cos it does poof
