I have a problem with Anything Goos. My case (see picture) is a very simple vertext object made of a few hundred square and rectangular vertexes. However I am getting goo on the middle edges and the selection of Perimiter, Inner and Outer edges on the object does not appear to have any affect. Smoothing also does not work.

Hi,

Can you send the mesh to support at digitalcarversguild.com. I can take a look and perhaps make some suggestions.

Thanks,

So the problem was that the mesh had some internal faces. However Eric's suggestion (off line) was to use the extrusion tools to create such a shape. So after a few experiments using that technique all of the shapes had the same problem. My solution was to take a simple cube and then use the boolean operator to remove a smaller cube from it and that worked fine (see picture)

But has anyone else had this kind of problem with extrusion if so what am I doing wrong?
