I am trying to use the boolean feature to cut out windows on my fuselage. I keep getting an "Error on boolean part" when I try to perform the function. I have both the tube running through the fuselage and have them both selected before performing the cutout but isn't working. I have the tube named tool and it is closed at both ends and wondering as to why I keep getting this error? Can someone help?

Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi, you should really have put this post in the FSDS forum but never mind. Have a look at this thread on the Boolean Operation :-

I have used the boolean operation in FSDS v3.5 and did not have any problems. Perhaps you could try to post the fsc file with the error if it is possible?

In FSDS the boolean opeartion is quirky at best. If the tool isn't "right" ... it won't catch.
When I absolutely need a boolean cut to be done, *I* export the part into gmax, abuse it there, and port it back to FSDS.
When it works, it has the advantage that it keeps the original part and tool intact, so you discard the boolean results you don't want and can keep cutting away from the original part.
On the other hand, I avoid boolean operations as much as possible!

Also if the tool used cuts the edge of the main part you will get an error too
