Thanks for helping with testing everyone. Sorry for the confusion: The .3B I uploaded was my attempt to isolate the issue. That file would crash 3DC without a warning every time I used Live Booleans -> Collapse Boolean Tree. I have restarted my machine a few times, and re-downloaded the file. This time I am starting with a fresh runtime and updated graphics drivers. Honestly, the crash is very peculiar. Maybe it has something to do with my graphics driver, or Windows itself crashing the app because they are assuming it is crashing?   Here is another video with a fresh restart. Before I could get that file to consistently crash every time I tried collapsing the boolean. Now sometimes it works sometimes it crashes. Now that I watch the recording I notice it crash every time (and only when) I used "open recent". Same two files, but dragging the .3b into the window to open it did not crash, while open recent did.

Hello, I tried your file and the result on first try is attached in the zip file: sorry, but it's 145 Mb, so I had to zip it. Is that you're looking for? What I did was "Clone and Collapse" instead of the "Collapse Boolean Tree": I tried the last one and I can confirm 3DC crashed! With "Clone and Collapse" I have to report that 3DC didn't clone the voxel layers as I should expect, well, if that is the purpose of "Clone", but instead created only one Surface layer with a succesful boolean operation, as you can see below: Wendallhitherd, could you please do the same "Clone and collapse" with your original file shown in the video? I can see you have the hierarchy there is different from the file you shared with us, so I'm curious to see if the "Clone and collapse" works also in your situation. Thank you Anyway, I suggest a little investigation on the two ways of calculating a boolean operation should be done. Ciao   2024-10-25_ScifiCylinder_remesh__MAYBE_done.zip

Check this image please, those are the only options i have when i right click on layer

i cant replicate this ...  i even used double the amount of tris to see if it was performance issue .. but crash didnt happen    however i did notice that voxel brushes utilize all the cores of my cpu ... however surface brushes (which is use all the time) only uses one cpu core ....  

Hi You can use fill tool on Eraser Mode

right click on the layer , add mask

Hi there! I am following this tutorial where the instructor is creating a mask but in my 3dcoat 2024.02 the mask buttom is not there. Video below and also screenshot attached  

Hi !  Question, i know how to fill a geometry with a material or color while using the fill tool, but how do i do the opposite, if i fill something  and maybe after working for half hour i just want to erase that material or color, can i do it with the fill tool or i have to use erase tool and clean everything manually ?   Thanks

Attached the problematic .3b file to the previous post

Hi everyone,  I wanted to share my progress after using 3dc for around 10 months.  Sound daft but  It's not obvious how to upload an image here from disk.  

Hi, Is there a way to remove the lock button/symbol from the Layers list in the Paint Room or at least deactivate it or move it to the right of the layer name? So far I have never needed it and a right click option would be sufficient (or a way to add or remove it in the preferences) but I accidentally click on it regularly, especially wenn not looking at the layers (e.g. when turning a layer off and on to check the change). It's a mere annoyance, but it's a couple of unnecessary clicks each time and can get frustrating. 3DCoat 2023.37    

I created a similar structure in sculpt tree and made a Collapse Boolean tree. This made the program collapse once out of all the attempts. Therefore, it is advisable to show your scene to the developers.

What exactly is outdated? What version of the program are we talking about?

Aaand a consistent voxel based Live boolean crash without a prompt to submit a report sadly! I would send out the .3b but its like 1.5gb. Tried rolling back to the latest stable build, still oocurs. I: think it might have to do with phantom layer data. It delete the layers but it comes back when I remesh or decimate. Here is a test object all done with live booleans I'll see if I can get a good high / lowpoly out of. I'm finding that live booleans are really nice for hardsurface because they give you that sharp holding edge that you don't get out of voxels, and they still work even with many many cuts because it's just voxels, so much more stable than successive booleans in surface mode. However, I am getting quite a lot of crashing when trying to cook out my booleans right now. 2024-10-25_ScifiCylinder_remesh.3b
