Windows 10: 3D Builder Subtract Tool not working....

Hello Service and Support!!!!! The same 3D Builder question has been out there since 2016 and has not yet been addressed. Is there anyone that is interested in customer service and helping your customers use your software?? If so, I am asking the same question again. When will Microsoft provide a solution to the Subtraction and Merge tools in 3D Builder? Everyone that uses this app knows about these issues and yet the moderators pretend like its a new problem. Those of us out here using this app know enough to check drivers, computer hardware, and the like. This appears to be a software bug th

Microsoft 3D builder wont let me subtract

Microsoft 3D Builder wont let me subtract one object from another

Things I have tried

• Selecting ONLY the object I want to be subtracted
  
• Selecting the object I want to be subtracted AND the object I want it to be subtracted from
  
• Using deselect and trying again
  
• restarting the program
  
• restarting the computer
  
• using all of the different objects
  

The button stays greyed out no matter what

 

3D Builder - Subtraction Bugs

I have been experiencing multiple issues when joining (merge function) and subtracting objects from other objects. Lots of triangular artifacts that look like root vertices are not endgons. Hard to see with the wireframe mode turned on what is really going
on. 3D Builder has promise ONLY if it gets a true mesh editor, or at least better than a simple slider for controlling subdivisions and vertex counts. It is simple and intuitive, but very limited in capability. There is no way to even round off a corner. Frustrating.
Please tell me you are working on a remesh editor?!?!?!

 

3d builder

Hi Dennis,

I'm an engineer on the 3D Builder team.

It is a known bug in 3D Builder that some subtracts lead to objects that can't be repaired.

We apologize. We are however working on a solution for a future update.

Thanks for letting us know.
