newbie (me) dynamics problem (probably easy)

[Bonedaddy]

Don't use booleans. Try and do all modeling before you do your dynamics.

hi, I just did a nice little dynamics animation, a scoreboard falling and crashing on the ground (3-4 pieces) and after that I took one of the the piece and did a boolean on it, deleting history for merge it after, then now, when I playback my simulation, nothing happen, everything is still but all the dynamics node are there...

what I am missing?

thanks...

Dont delete the history if you use rigid body simulations, the solver will get disconnected from your objects and the dynamics removed. That is why nothing is happening.

ha! ok, Ill try that tonight...

im an After Effects/lightwave guy trying to act like a maya pro, its normal nothing is working!

ps: if I cant use boolean, what can I use for make a hole in a rectangle?!
sorry, im on three job in same time, if somebody can answer my stoopid question, it will make me save time! thanks

model the hole, delete the faces etc
