Well ive come to a dillemma with my new model, i want to subtract a part of it and its doing funny things (im including pic) and i can't figure out how to get rid of it, the user referance doesn't seem to help much on that front ither. So i hope 1 of u know how to fix the problem. i also tried removing or deleteing the leftover vertices but it screws my mesh all up.... plz any help is greatly appreciated. I could remodel that part to the way i want it, but ide just like to know the solution for this anyways.:D
What it seems to be doing is leaving behind the flipped normals of the box i used to subtract (ive got no idea why its doing that)....

ok i know how the Booleans work... il get some better pics, but to try and explain it, that big box under my Mesh is the "skin" the of box that i used to subtract... it cut the mesh the way i wanted but it left this flipped object around, kinda like i made a surface with splines but the normals are flipped? il see if i can get more picture.
